Found a quarter on the sidewalk A love letter in a shoebox I found a snake underneath a rock Wish I could find forgiveness A sand dollar on the seashore An old dresser in an antique store A rusty whistle in the bottom drawer Wish I could find forgiveness It ain't hiding in no bottle on a shelf Or lying in the bed of someone else I can't feel it on some Sunday morning pew One sleepless night it dawned on me The peace I need so desperately Is buried in the one place I can't get to Girl, it's gotta come from you Was too stubborn for my own good I never listened like I knew I should I don't deserve it but I wish you would Find me some forgiveness For every night I wasn't there For all the times I didn't care I admit that it was never fair Wish I could find forgiveness It ain't hiding in no bottle on a shelf Or lying in the bed of someone else I can't feel it on some Sunday morning pew But one sleepless night it dawned on me The peace I need so desperately Is buried in the one place I can't get to Girl, it's gotta come from you I've seen a broom run across a floor Taking with it what was there before And that's the kind of clean I came here looking for It ain't hiding in no bottle on a shelf Or lying in the bed with someone else I can't feel it on some Sunday morning pew But one sleepless night it dawned on me The peace I need so desperately Is buried in the one place I can't get to Girl, it's gotta come from you Wish I could find forgiveness
