[Verse 1]
Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the river, there is a girl without a dream

[Chorus]
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

[Verse 2]
Eastern to Mountain, third party call, the lines are down
The wise man built his words upon the rocks
But I'm not bound to follow suit
The trees will bend, the conversation's dimmed
Go build yourself another home, this choice isn't mine

[Chorus]
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

[Verse 3]
Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggеstion are driving me away
The ocеan sang, the cities wash away
The city in the mountains, there's a boy without a dream
[Chorus]
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

[Verse 4]
Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The ocean sang, the conversation's dimmed
Go build yourself another dream, this choice wasn't mine

[Chorus]
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

[?]
Ah, yes
Ah, yeah
Oh, ow
Oh, ow
Oh, ow

[Outro]
We're R.E.M
We're here from Georgia, which is in the southernmost part of the United States
We're not proud of our president, we're sorry
(enthusiastic applause from the audience)
Um, I meant that
The more astute of you may notice there's a truck parked outside, this is being taped tonight for one of your bigger radio things
But, outside of that, the heel came off of my boot and I was wondering if anybody has a size 9 1/2 shoe I can borrow
([?])
Yeah
What color?
Does anybody mind if I wear beige shoes instead of black?
