about

The lyrics of this song are based on a poem from 1905 titled Regret by Olivia Ward Bush-Banks (1869 – 1944) which is now in the public domain. When I read it, I felt that it was begging to be sung and accompanied with a solemn guitar part.

lyrics

I said a thoughtless word one day.
My loved one heard and went away.
I cried, forgive me, I was blind.
I would not wound or be unkind.

I waited long, but all in vain
To win my loved one back again.
Too late for me to weep and pray.
Death came and took my love away.

Then what a bitter fate was mine.
No language could my grief define.
Tears of deep regret could not unsay
The thoughtless word I spoke that day.
