"Everlasting Great Regret" lyrics - SHARI ULRICH

Here's another song about you
I had thought that just the one would do
Turns out love and regret need quite a few

Just today while I was walking
You crept right up and grabbed me from behind
I was minding my own business at the time

[Chorus:]
My old friend
Well I'm sure you've met
I'm rarely anywhere without my uninvited guest
My old friend who's never left
My everlasting great regret

You woke me up while I was dreaming
You tried to lie beside me while I slept
Who invited you to come into my bed?

I'm gonna go down to the ocean
Swim out to the edge and let you go
With my luck the tide will carry you back home

[Chorus]

Maybe someday when I'm wiser
I'll be convinced they're lessons, not mistakes
Oh I'll probably just miss the good old days

[Chorus]
