They stored their passion in the creases
|
|
In the corners of their mouths
|
|
Every angle of light from the open window
|
|
Washed their aged faces out
|
|
|
|
"Should we feel guilty?" they said
|
|
"Should we feel guilty for this sin?
|
|
Lord, did we kill a man and woman
|
|
Just to lie here skin to skin?"
|
|
|
|
"I wasn't happy
|
|
I wasn't happy where I was
|
|
Oh, what is life without a purpose?
|
|
What is purpose without love?
|
|
|
|
I pray my children will forgive me
|
|
Though I bade the river flood
|
|
I have washed my hands a thousand times
|
|
But still can see the blood
|
|
|
|
I still can see the blood"
|
|
|
|
"Oh, great mercy, I am here
|
|
To beg forgiveness for this mess
|
|
I know I tore two worlds apart
|
|
But I can't change the way I felt
|
|
|
|
Love swept in like a storm
|
|
And ripped the hinges from the doors
|
|
Love poured in like a flood
|
|
I couldn't stop it any more
|
|
|
|
I will not be
|
|
No, I will not be
|
|
Drowned"
|
|
|
|
She said, "Lover, come and hold me
|
|
I'm terribly afraid
|
|
While you're shouting at the stars
|
|
My scars are not fading away"
|
|
|
|
He said, "Darling, I was begging
|
|
Heaven make them disappear
|
|
But see, I didn't get an answer
|
|
Or at least one I could hear
|
|
|
|
Now, I am thinking of the past
|
|
And how we both said vows and lied
|
|
And I am wondering how we trust ourselves
|
|
To say a second time
|
|
|
|
To say a second time"
|
|
|
|
To have and to hold
|
|
From this day and onward
|
|
For better or for worse
|
|
For richer or poorer
|
|
In sickness and in health
|
|
To love and to cherish
|
|
Till death do us part
|
|
Till death do us part
|
|
|
|
