"Sophie" lyrics

You were kind, ever welcoming among the sloes of Loch Bardowie
You can take all of your love out on me, Sophie
You always loved Charlie the best, you never knew how each night I wept
But I'll feast upon the crumbs he's left, Sophie

And I can't forgive myself
Oh, I can't forgive myself

You would hide yourself in a shroud as your hair started falling out
When you took off your dressing gown, Sophie
Your mother was dressed in black with a lock of your hair in her hands
And I knew there was no turning back, Sophie

And I can't forgive myself
No, I can't forgive myself
I can't forgive myself
No, I can't forgive myself
Sophie, Sophie

Didn't know when I started running, I was running for my life
Didn't know when I started running, I'd be running my whole life
Didn't know when I started running, I was running for my life
Didn't know when I started running, I'd be running my whole life
I didn't know when I started running, I was running for my life
I didn't know when I started running, I'd be running my whole life
