It Don't Make the Wrong Go Away

Reached into my pocket
Felt around and found I had it all along
The keys to another time and place
Already gone
And I could not admit at the time
That I was too afraid
Baby, you were right
But that don’t make the wrong go away
Strong willed with a poor man’s bible
And the day is going slow
The damp chill made me shiver
And the stillness took its toll
And I’d give you anything you ever wanted
If I was sure it would make you stay
Baby, you were right
But that don’t make the wrong go away
Walked into a corner store
Bought your favourite brand of cigarettes
I’ve been so lost these days
How soon could I forget
That farewell kiss upon winter lips
And words are just things that people say
Baby, you were right
And words don’t make the wrong go away
Baby, you were right
But that don’t make the wrong go away
