Regrets, we've all had a few, even those involved in the most nefarious of activities

lyrics

I watch the sun slowly sinking
This time of day it gets me thinking
Among the faces that I remember
For different reasons, time’s now dismembered

Was it one or two we buried
Beneath the freeway that now carries
The weary workers with all their worries
It’s not for me now to say I’m sorry

Time pushes (just moved) on
(And ) what’s done is done

Riverina a few years later
Cheap wine country but something greater
Would hit the streets and make us money
Change some lives in a hurry

Paid protection and it was seeded
Brown paper bags was all we needed
A little business to wash the money
It was so easy it wasn’t funny
Time moves along
What’s done is done
(Can’t be undone)

Getting by in this mid coast town
Just a few doors down from
A deal in exchange for a favour
Known by a different name
I still feel the same
It’s all just part of the game
I hear some rumours now and then
About where and when
Her and them
But never feel put upon
The antenna’s on
To just stay under the radar

The years are rolling right past my window
And I did wrong but maybe who knows
To get some peace and some reflection
I don’t need change or direction

The past it sits upon my shoulders
Sometimes silent sometimes bolder
But in the end I did what I did
Never ratted or lifted a lid

Life just rolls on
What’s done is done
