A Hard Act To Follow

Forgive us for our stumblings, if we seem unsure
Forgive us if you're watching that our efforts seem so poor
Forgive us if our venom seems a little tame
Above all this forgive us if our excuses seem so lame
It makes us sick to swallow that you should be here today
You're a hard act to follow, but we'll try anyway

Forgive us if we trespass on sacred shores
Forgive us if we dispense with what's not needed anymore
Forgive us if the words you wove don't come across too clear
It's hard to read the score-line when your eyes are full of tears
Forgive us if our sorrow comes across as true
You're a hard act to follow, but what else can we do?

There's a slow train coming along the track
It took so long to get here that it won't be turning back
It's left a lot of memories in it's wake
We keep a hand held on to history to act as our brake
If they say our words are hollow, you at least should know they're not
You're a hard act to follow, but we'll give it our best shot

If a seem a little sallow, like I just seen a ghost
You're a hard act to follow, that scares me the most
