Forsake Me
* * *
You came up, once again
Seems you're the topic of
Every single conversation
* * *
"Sandburg, Jim needs your help in this, and I don't want to hear a word out of you, just get Jim back into shape."
* * *
I was the one, once again
Making apologies, all in your defence
Just give him time.
* * *
"Joel, Jim's just strung out man, he's working way to many hours and he's just not himself at the moment, I'm sure once everything's settled down again he'll be sorry."
* * *
It's all right if you fall
You are human after all
But it hurts when you land
On my life
I'm not your Jesus Christ
* * *
"Please, Jim, just talk to me here, I could help you if you would just tell me what your problem is, man."
"You know what my problem is junior? It's you and your nagging, I get it at work and I get it at home and you know what - I'm just about sick of it."
* * *
You show up when you need
Make no apologies
Lay your world upon my shoulders
* * *
"I should have found her in time, God, if only I had been there in time."
* * *
Hey, what a friend you have in me
You give me all your sin
Take my soul and go
* * *
"These senses are worthless, Sandburg! I have no control; I should have found that girl in time!"
* * *
Time after time
* * *
"You're late Sandburg and don't start with one of you obfuscations, we have more important things, a man was just found murdered!"
* * *
It's all right if you fall
You are human after all
But it hurts when you land
On my life
I'm not your Jesus Christ
* * *
"I'm so sorry Sandburg, I didn't know that asking for your help at such a hard time in my life would inconvenience you so much!"
"Jim that's not what I meant, I just have to get these done or I'll be fired, damn it!"
* * *
Save yourself
* * *
"I was a good Detective with out these senses and will be once they're gone."
* * *
Save yourself
* * *
"You're just in the way Sandburg, I've done this plenty of times without you, just go to the U or something."
* * *
Forsake me
* * *
"Chief I need you to leave, this just isn't working anymore, I need room."
* * *
Time after time
* * *
"How can I trust you Blair? Everything you do is for your dissertation. I think it would be best if you started looking for somewhere else to live."
* * *
It's all right if you fall
You are human after all
But it hurts when you land
On my life I'm not your
Jesus Christ
* * *
"Blair I need-"
"I'm sorry Mr. Sandburg no longer works here, may I direct your call to someone else?"
