Sam Phillips - Remorse lyrics

Pulling the trigger A shot would fire then he'd wake To red lips above him smeared With scorn and stale restraint She covered him with pity Like a snake about to strike And then pronounced him hopeless When he wouldn't do as she would like He's so sorry he can't feel remorse He tries to keep the helpless ship on course The blameless sky pales as a storm comes Taking it by force He's so sorry Flashes of justice After all she'd done for him For the first time she was quiet As he touched her moon pale skin They found him hours later He was talking to the gun Saying father please forgive her She has k**ed her only son
