Clouds of Guilt

Clouds of guilt

Oh, it's just the way I'm built

Clouds of guilt

Feel guilty when I leave

Feel guilty when I stay

Feel guilty when I'm down and out, and

When I'm overpaid

Feel guilty when I'm right

Feel guilty when I'm wrong

Even feel a pinch of guilt just singing you this song

Don't ask me why it is

It's just the way I'm built

Even days of sunshine are dimmed

By clouds of guilt

And if these words don't rhyme

Or a bit of milk gets spilt

I find myself overshadowed

By heavy clouds of guilt

Clouds of guilt

Oh, it's just the way I'm built

Under clouds of guilt

Feel guilty when I'm late

Or early to a ball

Strange to say, feel guiltiest when I've done nothing at all

Missed the funeral of a friend

That one stung for years

(I feel guilty) but stranger still, felt even worse for swallowing my tears

Don't ask me why it is

It's just the way I'm built (guilty)

Even days of sunshine are dimmed (why?)

By clouds of guilt

And if these words don't rhyme

Or a bit of milk gets spilt

I find myself overshadowed

By heavy clouds of guilt

Clouds of guilt

Oh, it's just the way I'm built

Clouds of guilt

Oh, it's just the way I'm built

Is it some genetic flaw that is to blame?

Or old religious training steeped in shame?

I'm guilty of feeling guilty all the time

Wish there was a way to free my mind

Don't ask me why it is

It's just the way I'm built

Even days of sunshine are dimmed

By clouds of guilt

And if these words don't rhyme (I feel guilty)

Or a bit of milk gets spilt

I find myself overshadowed

By heavy clouds of guilt (guilty)

Can never seem to get away (why?)

From all these clouds of guilt (clouds of guilt)

Oh, it's just the way I'm built

Under clouds of guilt
