Forgive me lover,
for I have hurt
For I have done you wrong.
For I have hurt
beyond repair,
When tears occurred
No, I didn't care.
Forgive me Lover,
for I have sinned
For I have loved you wrong.
But this estranged organ in my chest
Still beats for you
It will not rest, so
Meet me in our secret place
When the time has come
Rest your head
in my lap
And I'll lead you out of your own trap
and I'll show you how much
you have missed through the
Time we weren't right
Ah...
Ah...
So forgive me lover,
for I have sinned
For I have let you go.
But you've been every now and then on my mind,
You're every now and then on my mind (7x)
You're on my mind,
On my mind (7x)
(Acapella)
On my mind. (7x)
for I have hurt
For I have done you wrong.
For I have hurt
beyond repair,
When tears occurred
No, I didn't care.
Forgive me Lover,
for I have sinned
For I have loved you wrong.
But this estranged organ in my chest
Still beats for you
It will not rest, so
Meet me in our secret place
When the time has come
Rest your head
in my lap
And I'll lead you out of your own trap
and I'll show you how much
you have missed through the
Time we weren't right
Ah...
Ah...
So forgive me lover,
for I have sinned
For I have let you go.
But you've been every now and then on my mind,
You're every now and then on my mind (7x)
You're on my mind,
On my mind (7x)
(Acapella)
On my mind. (7x)

Weird; this song started playing within a minute of Netflix emailing a notification for shipping "Once".

I really dislike everything that comes from this duo. Their music is annoying and whiney and always makes me reach for the mute button.

I saw these guys at a music festival. Never having heard of them before, they were a "sleeper" act that blew the audience away. Glen's passion against Marketa's shy yet haunting voice captivate. Happy to see RP picked them up!

I like this a LOT... there is an ambiance to the music that generates a lot of good emotions... great guitar work, piano notes, and melody... love that voice... this is great stuff!
Totally agree, romeotuma. And wow - I don't think I've ever seen so many words from you before. (Teasing you, my friend.) You've summed up my thoughts perfectly. Great stuff. Starting at 8, but betting it'll go higher...

Pretty much in the same musical mood as Emmylou Harris a couple of songs ago. Like 'em both

Jane Siberry with none of the depth, heart or intelligence.

I like it too... even though I rated it "3". Something about the song bothers me as being incomplete, or like a songwriter who is unwilling to edit him or herself. It would be fine if it were presented as a demo, work in progress, or around a campfire at Kerrville or something like that. As a producer I'd want to edit, and as a songwriter I'd want to introduce something more in terms of irony in the sentiment... I'm just not convinced by the song. The musicianship is *outstanding* in this band. I wonder if the problem lies in the artists' egos.

I like it a lot. The beauty of simplicity is far too oft underestimated in music.

Growing on me. The more I hear of this album the more I like it.
Pretty song. I love the coda.

9Whatever the merits of the music, this is one gorgeously-produced CD. The piano intro was sparkling.
Nifty! So glad to see Glen and Marketa doing well.
There appears to be a shiny deluxe edition, which includes a live cd and a dvd as well, for a pretty good price over on Amazon...

I am going to have to say as this is only my second song by them... I am a fan...

For my money and taste, the Carpenters were utterly wretched. I can recall all too well an era when one could not escape their songs, sugary, saccharine, cyclamateous, or whichever adjective one chooses (at least in the USA; possibly other countries avoided this problem). It has long puzzled me that they seem to have attracted a following in recent year. This group seems much better, although this is based on only this one song heard here.

It's a tricky one I agree...you can't sing without breathing....I guess they could take a deep breath at the start
and see how far they get...bit like swimming the length of a pool.
The alternative is...well death really.
Or you can just go the complete opposite end of the spectrum and use the Inward Singing technique made famous by the venerable Tenacious D. That way, they coulda just kept on rocking without pause (or remorse).

Lovely song, and then they go and ruin it with all that breathing.

Pure aural Mogadon

Isn't this the duet from the movie "Once" ... Unmistakable chemistry.

Not too shabby! I like the harmonies.
The only thing whiny here are the haters comments. This is a gorgeous (albeit sad) baring of an artist's heart and soul. Check out Marketa's new solo album "Anar". Absolutely beautiful.
