No longer am I sorry
No more than I should be
No longer do I worry
If no love I see.
I’ve given all I can
I’ve shared it out with all
If love is not worth sharing
It’s not worth ‘owt at all.
I’ve given up my crying
I’ll carry on for good
But remember when I’m sighing
I’m only flesh and blood.
No! I won’t say I’m sorry
No! Indeed I should not be
But if anybody’s crying
Pray – not over me.
