Forgive me, hearer, I cannot stay
He cut out my tongue, there is nothing to save
Love me, O 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
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 you your name
I tried to leave, though I begged Him to stay
Left me alone, when I needed the light
I fell to my knees, and I wept for my life
If He had have stayed, you might understand
If He had have stayed, you never would have taken my hand
And you have JACQUES!
You have me.
If He had have bean, staring at me
Me either, please send for me
I am broken, too, and spoken for
Do not tempt me
Go to the Lord, see and see
But I am broken too, and spoken for
Do not tempt me
Begged him to stay in my cold wooden grip
Begged him to stay by the light of this ship
Me fighting him, fighting life, fighting dawn
And the waves came and stole him and took him to war
He wrote, I'm broke
Please send for me
But I'm broken too and spoken for
Do not tempt me, forgive me
Here I cannot stay
Cut out my tongue, there is nothing to save
Love me, oh Lord
Love me, oh Lord
But 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
We speak when spoken to
And that suits us well
That suits us well
That suits me well
That suits us well
He cut out my tongue, there is nothing to save
Love me, O 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
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 you your name
I tried to leave, though I begged Him to stay
Left me alone, when I needed the light
I fell to my knees, and I wept for my life
If He had have stayed, you might understand
If He had have stayed, you never would have taken my hand
And you have JACQUES!
You have me.
If He had have bean, staring at me
Me either, please send for me
I am broken, too, and spoken for
Do not tempt me
Go to the Lord, see and see
But I am broken too, and spoken for
Do not tempt me
Begged him to stay in my cold wooden grip
Begged him to stay by the light of this ship
Me fighting him, fighting life, fighting dawn
And the waves came and stole him and took him to war
He wrote, I'm broke
Please send for me
But I'm broken too and spoken for
Do not tempt me, forgive me
Here I cannot stay
Cut out my tongue, there is nothing to save
Love me, oh Lord
Love me, oh Lord
But 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
We speak when spoken to
And that suits us well
That suits us well
That suits me well
That suits us well
