If Ever I Stray

Forgive me someone, for I have sinned And I know not where I should begin Some days it feels like you just can't win No matter what you do or say. Things didn't kill me but I don't feel stronger Life is short but it feels much longer You've lost that drive, you've lost that hunger To pull yourself through the day. But if ever I stray from the path I follow Take me down to the English Channel Throw me in where the water is shallow And then drag me on back to shore! 'Cos love is free and life is cheap As long as I've got me a place to sleep Clothes on my back and some food to eat I can't ask for anything more Come on everybody sing it 1, 2, 3, 4 We've all got secrets that we hold inside The worst little things that we try and defy The worst one of all that you never can hide Is that you're never quite as strong as you sound So I'm sorry baby, for the times I've hurt you Sorry friends, for the times I desert you Most days it feels like I don't deserve you No wonder that you're all still around But if ever I stray from the path I follow Take me down to the English Channel Throw me in where the water is shallow And then drag me on back to shore! 'Cos love is free and life is cheap As long as I've got me a place to sleep Clothes on my back and some food to eat I can't ask for anything more Come on everybody sing it 1, 2, 3, 4 Come on and join me in the water Swim for hope Sometimes it's hard to remember I couldn't do this on my own But if ever I stray from the path I follow Take me down to the English Channel Throw me in where the water is shallow And then drag me on back to shore! 'Cos love is free and life is cheap As long as I've got me a place to sleep Clothes on my back and some food to eat I can't ask for anything more I can't ask for anything more The path I chose isn't straight and narrow It wanders 'round like a drunken fellow Some days it's hard for me to follow But if you've got my back I'll go on. If you've got my back I'll go on.
