Pandora's Box

(album: New Songs From The Briarpatch - 1977)

Night passed so slowly
All the dreams were bad
Pandora's box fell down
It broke open
All of my memories
Bound to make me sad
I heard every unkind word I'd spoken
Hard though I tried
I couldn't get myself awake
Hard though I cried
I would remember each mistake
Praying for sunrise
Prayers were all I had
Prayers and all the promises I'd broken
Hmmmmmm
Hmmmmmm
How can I make it
Feeling this a-way
Not at all convinced
To go on living
No place to go to
No excuse to stay
One more soul in bad need of forgiving
Hard though I tried
I couldn't get myself awake
Hard though I cried
I would remember each mistake
Hanging on till sunrise
Living day by day
Praying for grace and faced with a need for living
Hanging on till sunrise
Living day by day
Praying for grace and faced with a need for living
