Lyrics

Torn with guilt and laying in his bed
He sees a distant light, and it’s hangin over his head and he comes clean
After all these years, he recalls the night
When he drew his blade in fear and he struck out

Oohh as the blood rushed to the ground, poolin at my feet
And everyone I’ve ever known and every place I’ve been
Flashed before my eyes I was 17
Oohh…

I saw my friend layin on the floor
And I knew his heart, wasn’t beating anymore and siren wailed
And echoed through the park, and in my panic I
Must’ve slipped into the dark and I yelled out

Oohh as the blood rushed to the ground poolin at my feet
And everyone I’ve ever known and every place I’ve been
Flashed before my eyes I was 17
Oohh…

Worn and broken, layin in my cell
I greet the passing guard, and he stops to wish me well and send me home
After all these years, they finally found the man
Who had drawn his blade in fear and I broke down

Oohh as the tears rushed to the ground, poolin at my feet
And everyone I’ve ever known and every place I’ve been
Flashed before my eyes I was 17
Oohh…
