I'd say infidelity. Not the first time he wrote about that ... Interestingly, in the Songbook liner notes he doesn't say, but then he likes to leave it that way.

4/12. FORGIVE ME LORD

I recorded this two or three times, but I like this version best. Lenny Waronker never liked it. Around the time of this recording, I got involved with David Foster on the song "Anything For Love," which went off in another direction, so we decided to leave it off the album. I played it for years in concert, and listening to it now, I'm sort of surprised it never made it onto a record before this.
