Burton Cummings - Retribution Lyrics

Retribution

Many days will I search for you
How many miles must my lyrics fly
Often times I will raid my dreams
Seems I always only hurt myself
That's a new kind of retribution...
That's a new kind of retribution...

Many nights will I search for song
How many nights might the muses hide...
Often times I will send my gifts
Open the box and the card is mine
That's a new kind of retribution...
That's a new kind of retribution...

God knows I miss bright mornings with bigger evenings
God knows I miss thinkin' that Jimmy might go on forever
God knows I miss huge mountains becoming molehills
God knows I miss you... you... you...

God knows I miss bright days with bright people
God knows I miss thinkin' that Jimbo might go on forever
(""cwkward instant"")
God knows I miss huge mountains becoming molehills
God knows I miss you... you... you...

That's a new kind of retribution...
That's a new kind of retribution...
