Great Disappointment

Feelin' up and then feelin' down
There are things that don' t make a sound
But they still are violent
Like the falling of the innocent

It doesn' t take a dagger to betray
Sometimes you just look the other way

What a great disappointment
What a knife blade to the back
There' s no means of gainful employment
But you went out and bought a Cadillac

It feels like you don' t give a damn
Now I see you were on the lam
And you say it' s your great regret
But I can' t quite forgive you yet

It only takes a moment to give in
But it may take a lifetime to forget

You held the knife
Up in your hands
You made it fly
It did a dance
Your aim was true
But you were not
There was a vow
But you forgot
