Artist - The Decemberists Album - 5 Songs Song - Apology Song Verse 1: I'm really sorry Steven But your bicycle's been stolen I was watchin it for you 'Til you came back in the fall Guess I didn't do such a good job after all Verse 2: I was feeling really sorry Steven And I spent all morning grieving And everybody's saying That you'll take the news gracefully Somehow I don't think I'll be getting off that easily Chorus 1: I meant her no harm When I left her unlocked Outside the Orange Street Food Farm I was just running in Didn't think I'd be that long I came out, she was gone And all that was there was some bored old dog Leashed up to the place where your bicycle had been Guess we'll never see poor Madeleine again Verse 3 (match verse 1 for chords): Let this be consolation, Steven That all the while you were in England I treated her with care and respect And have her lots of love And I was usually pretty good 'bout locking her up Chorus 2 (match chorus 2 for chords): Where has she gone? Well, I bet she's on the bottom of a Frenchtown pond Rudely abused on some hescher's joyride So I wrote you this song In the hopes that you'd forgive me Even though it was wrong Being so careless with a thing so great And taking your poor Madeleine away, away
