 I  was surprised,  i was happy  for a day  in 1975
 i  was puzzled by  a dream, it stayed  with me all day in  1995
 my  brother had  confessed that  he was gay
 it  took the heat off  me for a while
 he  stood up with a sailor  friend
 and  made it known  upon my sisters  wedding day
 Etc.
 "they dont seem to mind"...go to end of Gm, then chorus):
 I  gave myself to sin
 and  i've been there and back  again
 i  gave myself to providence the state i am in
