Sorry Don't Mean Nothin'

Original Song by James Humphries

"Sorry Don't Mean Nothin'"


Well there ain't never been no darker path,
of deep forgotten blues,
then waiting on the other half,
of a table held for two.

Making eyes at all the front door swings
Making ears with all the payphone rings,
When old Sam Cooke begins to sing,
A Change is Gonna Come
A change is gonna come.

I Can't wait to find out her excuse
'Cause I've just been here hanging loose,
And mixin' different kinds of juice,
with clear jamaican rum,
Clear Jamaican Rum.

And the place, it smells like lobster shells are lyin on the floor,
And these shoguns shout the slogans with a kamikaze roar,
And they say it's not a party, without cajun calamari,
And sorry doesn't cut it anymore.
No No, sorry don't mean nothing anymore

When I left my home I was nothing more but a man without an easy plan
and I stumbled to your barracks gate, when I didn't have a place to stand,
And you know that I was grateful, just to serve in your regime,
But I couldn't stand the crazy things you made your soldiers scream
Like sorry couldnt ever mean a thing

And I can't go back, 'cause I came that way,
down a loose rope walk on a poison trail,
So heed the headwind on the bay,
hike the anchor, hoist the sail.

Violet locks and silver flutes,
crystal cobwebs, covered roots,
come on boys, lets haul the loot,
all through the decent dawn
all through the decent dawn

Riding highly through the dell,
Deaf policemen start to yell,
"Captain we regret to tell you
that the Queen is gone,
Yes the Queen is gone"

But you can talk to all your deputies, your spirit counsel too,
And the frozen voice companion, lord he did so much for you.
And all the hints from the haggard tongues that help you weave your plot
Dont you know its hard to give the things that you ain't got,
So sorry honey, just don't mean a lot

Many years I waited here,
staking out your throne
and time and space just dissapear
like memories on stone

Runic rocks or sacred symbols,
Statues made from sharp utensils
Colored paints or colored pencils
Can't express the pain,
Can't express the pain.

And trying only makes it worse,
Like callin out an ancient curse,
When the mysteries of the universe,
are more or less, insane.
More or less insane.

I was staring across the table, wondering if you'd ever show,
When the waitress brings a message that you left not long ago,
It says you went out on safari, in that philistine's ferrari,
So sorry doesn't cut anymore,

No sorry don't mean nothing baby,
You might learn it someday maybe,
Live a little time in the sea of silence,
Wake up in the morn with the grief of darkness,
spend a full year on a snowpeak mountain,
Take a long bath in an ice cold fountain,
Laugh in the face of a gray seclusion
stand on top of the grand illusion
Sleep in the sand on a desert island,
After you've been spit on the shore,

Cause I wont give you not one reason,
I ain't beggin', I ain't please'n,
I just said goodbye to sadness,
good luck babe with all this madness
I wont give you no reason to tell me sorry darling, anymore

'Cause there ain't never been no darker path,
of deep forgotten blues,
then waiting on the other half,
of a table held for two.
