reproach

I don't mean to reproach you by saying this

I know that scares you

And she looks straight up at me

The reproach in her eyes is imagined

But the pain that I feel is real

On the thin ice of modern life

Dragging behind you the silent reproach

Of a million tear-stained eyes

With opinions close to the chest

Hurtful, cold, beyond reproach

Resisting to be called

I can't make your connection

You're beyond reproach

No need for petty excuses

I will ever be true

Its shame, its reproach, gladly bear

Then He'll call me someday

Everybody don gather round for market square

Reproach dey come with him mama, Karma

Hin sister, Bounty

Burn my eyes, bless my ghost

Way beyond reproach

Finished trauma, what I'm made of

If you should go skating on the thin ice of modern life

Dragging behind you the silent reproach of a million tear-stained eyes

Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice appears under your feet

We put out our own eyes

And reproach the blind

Ah, it's what love looks like, in a world of reproach,

Completely absorbed in that too

And love will find you in the end

So no more reproach

In these cards and envelopes

Change, I'm no closer

How can I reproach you

How can I pretend

Panic ain't in my vocabulary

Smashed beyond reproach

Suddenly, I wanted to take off my clothes

And how does that work out for you

In your holy quest to be above reproach?

♪

Here I am, sitting on my porch

Thinkin' my life has got to be beyond reproach

Have I forgot some friends close to me

Absolutely necessary, never

Approached me beyond reproach

Absolutely necessary, maybe

One love, one life, one sorrow

I won't reproach myself this time

A condemned man, granted a sweet reprieve

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;

Its shame and reproach gladly bear;

Then He'll call me some day to my home far away

Alone in Michigan

A cold reproach

Like the frost that's clinging to my coat

Could be my mother as I heard her say

If you should see your sister do not reproach or blame

Tell her how we've missed her I love her just the same

Keep it secret, never confide until they all have seen us.

Never has the world complied with a love that seems to reproach it;

And every wrong-spoken word that we've ever heard... warns us:

Encaged in a prison of guilt

Surrounded by reproach

And everybody knows

Don't look at me with reproach in your eyes

Don't look, don't look at me that way
