[00:12.00] Forgive me, Hera, I cannot stay,
[00:17.12] He cut out my tongue, there is nothing to say,
[00:24.00] Love me, oh Lord, he threw me away,
[00:29.56] He laughed at my sins, in his arms I must stay.
[00:37.11] He wrote: 'I'm broke, please send for me.'
[00:45.02]
[00:47.70] But I'm broke in two, and spoken for, do not tempt me.
[00:57.91] Her skin is white, and I'm light as the sun,
[01:02.54] So holy light shines on the things you have done.
[01:07.41]
[01:09.94] So I asked him, how he became this man?
[01:14.58] How did he learn to hold fruit in his hands?
[01:19.21] And where is the lamb that gave you your name?
[01:24.46] He had to leave, though I begged him to stay.
[01:28.59]
[01:31.02] Left me alone, when I needed the light,
[01:35.58] Fell to my knees, and I wept for my life,
[01:39.58]
[01:40.71] If he had of stayed, you might understand,
[01:45.21] If he had of stayed, you never would have taken my hand.
[01:50.52]
[01:52.83] He wrote: 'I'm low, please send for me.'
[01:58.75]
[02:03.05] But I'm broke in two, and spoken for, do not tempt me.
[02:10.39]
[02:12.88] And where is the lamb that gave you your name?
[02:16.82]
[02:17.82] He had to leave, though I begged him to stay.
[02:20.82]
[02:24.00] Begged him to stay, in my cold wooden grip,
[02:28.82] Begged him to stay by the light of this ship.
[02:33.63] Me fighting him, fighting life, fighting dawn,
[02:38.18] And the waves came and stole him and took him to war.
[02:43.08]
[02:45.23] He wrote: 'I'm broke, please send for me.'
[02:53.46]
[02:55.32] But I'm broke in two, and spoken for, do not tempt me.
[03:02.14]
[03:04.83] Forgive me, Hera, I cannot stay,
[03:10.14] He cut out my tongue, there is nothing to say,
[03:16.64] Love me, oh Lord, he threw me away,
[03:20.14]
[03:21.20] He laughed at my sins, in his arms I must stay.
[03:26.52]
[03:28.96] We write, that's alright, I miss his smell.
[03:35.58]
[03:39.33] We speak, when spoken to, that suits us well.
[03:48.14]
[03:50.02] That suits us well.
[03:51.96]
[03:55.58] That suits me well.
