forgive me Hera,
I cannot stay
he cut out my tongue
there is nothing to save
(repeat)
love me, oh lord
he threw me away
he laughed at my sins
in his arms I must stay
he wrote
I'm broke
please send for me
(repeat)
but I'm broken too
and spoken for
do not tempt me
her skin is white
and I'm light as the sun
so holy light shines on the things you have done
so I asked him how he became this man
how did he learn to hold fruit in his hands?
and where is the lamb that gave your name?
he had to leave, though I begged him to stay
(repeat)
left me alone when I needed the light
fell to my knees, and I wept for my life
if he had stayed of stayed, you might understand
if he had of stayed, you never would have taken my hand
he wrote
I'm low
please send for me
(repeat)
but I'm broken too
and spoken for
do not tempt me
and where is the lamb that gave your name?
he had to leave, though I begged him to stay
begged him to stay in my cold wooden grip
begged him to stay by the light of this ship
me fighting him, fighting light, fighting dawn
and the waves came and stole him and took him to war
he wrote
I'm low
please send for me
(repeat)
but I'm broken too
and spoken for
do not tempt me
forgive me Hera,
I cannot stay
he cut out my tongue
there is nothing to save
(repeat)
love me, oh lord
he threw me away
he laughed at my sins
in his arms I must stay
we write
that's all right
I miss his smell
(repeat)
we speak
when spoken to
and that suits us well
that suits us well
that suits me well
