DeMent, Iris - You've Done Nothing Wrong Lyrics






Well, you told me that you wished that things
Had not turned out this way
You never thought there'd come a time
When you would go away
But you stayed right here beside me
Even when the love was gone
And just because I'm hurting
That don't mean that you've done something wrong

Well, you said that you were sorry
And you'd take all the blame
But we both shared the gamble
So let's both share the pain
Like a breeze that blew across us
Love just moved along
And just because I'm hurting
That don't mean that you've done something wrong

'Cause we were happy for a while dear
But that's all over now
I'll pick up the pieces
And I'll get along somehow
But it all came back too clearly
In my bed, alone, tonight
As I was lying here just waiting for
Oh, that early morning light

Now you've gone so far away, dear
And these words I cannot say
I cursed at you for leaving
Slammed the door and ran away
In your face, I saw the sadness
But I've waited, now, too long
To tell you I still love you
And you've done nothing wrong

'Cause we were happy for a while dear
But that's all over now
I'll pick up the pieces
And I'll get along somehow
But it all came back too clearly
In my bed, alone, tonight
As I was lying here just waiting for
Oh, that early morning light

  11. A.... C....

    Brutally honest ❤️ amazing song

  12. G.... B....

    Iris is one of my favourite writers , the other is John Prine of course they write similar songs . I saw Iris twice in Aberdeen UK a long time ago I want her back .

    G.... B....

    They've done some duets on John Prine's In Spite Of Ourselves and For Better, Or Worse. They compliment each other's voice. Wish they'd do a whole album together. She sang Our Town on the last episode of Northern Exposure.

  13. P.... C....

    J.... J....

    +Jungle Joe  How cool

    J.... J....

    +william evans a quite delightful and understandable Freudian slip there Mr Evans

  46. j.... c....

    only once in a lifetime dose a voice like this come along pure crisp clean iris has it all pure magic I have only seen her once it was breath taking thank you

  47. P.... K....

    Beautiful.

  48. G.... C....

    Just saw her Symphony Center in Chicago with John Prine a month ago. Once in a lifetime experience for someone who sees 50 or more live sets a year. It was the first time I'd seen anyone perform there other than the CSO, but she was mind blowing. Prine's set was great too, but their duet was breathtaking. 

    G.... C....

    I would love to meet her and hear her sons in person.

  49. J.... K....

    Rip your heart out. Wisdom of timeless proportions. Love your music Iris.

  50. S.... T....

    Very beautiful song from this unique voice.

  51. M.... G....

    I absolutely love this song and Iris is a national treasure as a singer. wonderful.

  52. W.... G....

    Makes you think of a love lost great job Miss Dement.

  53. t.... ....

    Another beautiful song from Iris

  54. G.... B....

    It really just breaks my heart every time. One of the most mature break-up songs from one of my favorite country/folk singers.
