Forgive me Dear,
I cannot stay.
He cut out my tongue,
there is nothing to say.
Love me? oh no, 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 red, 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?
He had to leave, though i begged HIM to
stay.
Left me alone, when I needed the
light.
Fell to my knees, and I wept for your
life!
If he had have stayed, you might
understand.
If he had have stayed, you never would've
taken my hand.
He wrote,
I'm alone.
Please send for me.
but I'm broken too,
and spoken for.
