We only get the ones, we've made to cast
but there are things I'd say if I could
and If I was a better man

I don't normally repeat myself too, but when I sat down to listen this melody first thing that came to me was peaceful elegy. Thank you Doug. I' m dreaming about to collaborate with you somehow.
