Alejandro Escovedo - Guilty Lyrics
Outside the gate there lived a manA man with a forgotten nameWho tried to feel most everythingBut where he ended up was wrapped in shameIt's how you shape the day to dayNot what you hide behindWe are born with this sin he saidAnd with this sin we must surely dieAnd we don't see him anymoreHe's lost his way now that's for sureShe doesn't recognize himBut she knew him very wellThe tattered suit, the leather bootsThe ringing of the bellsShe said, "It's what you give"And what you take and what you leave behindThat marks the measure of your lifeShe said she knew him very wellThere was a man who lived outside the gateAnd guilty was his nameHe tried to love most everythingBut where he ended up was wrapped in shameIt's who he loved and what he tookAnd who he left behindThat marked the measure of his lifeYou know that Guilty was his name
