Unsettled Ways Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

Forgive me my unsettled ways 

Don't linger in time or finger what's mine 

Don't make me do what you wouldn't do yourself 

Forgive me the bad things I do 

Don't ask me to change or exchange what I am 

For something else you know that wouldn't do 

If time gets to heavy and you can no longer bear it 

And you need someone to share it 

Tell me girl, I'll try to make amends 

Forgive me the ways of my heart 

Don't try to pretend or lend me your love 

Don't ask of me what you wouldn't ask yourself 

If time gets to heavy and you can no longer bear it 

And you need someone to share it 

Tell me girl, I'll try to make amends 

Forgive me my unsettled ways 

Don't linger in time or finger what's mine 

Don't make me do what you wouldn't do yourself 

Don't make me do what you wouldn't do yourself
