A Woman Well Loved Lyrics

I once saw myself a great man
Cracked from labor
Wise from failure

Beside me sits a woman well loved
Beside me sits a woman well loved
Inside me sits the heart she holds
Behind me lies despair availed
Beside me sits the woman I love

I took no road,
Took to the fields
I talked to God and we struck a deal
To it I stayed true
To my wife I did too
To my friends I was there when you needed me

I once saw myself a great man
And I have done everything I can
I have learned everything I can
I have changed everything I can
I have gained everything I can
But now I only wish to be forgiven
Forgiven
