What He Wrote

Forgive me, Hera, I cannot stay
 He cut out my tongue
 There is nothing to say
 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"
 But I am 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?
 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 my life
 If he had have stayed, you might understand
 If he had have stayed, you never would have taken my hand
 He wrote
 "I'm low, please send for me"
 But I am broken too
 And spoken for
 Do not tempt me
 And where is the lamb that gave you 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 broke
 Please send for me"
 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
 Love me, oh, Lord! He threw me away
 He laughed at my sins
 In his arms, I must say
 We write
 "That's alright"
 I miss his smell
 We speak when spoken to
 And that suits us well
 That suits us well
 That suits me well
