What He Wrote Lyrics
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'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
Ho I asked him how he became this man
How that he learned 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 you needed the light
Fell to me knees and you wept for your life
If he had of stayed, you might understand
If he had of 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
Do not tempt me
And where is the lamb that gave you your name?
He had to flee though I begged him to stay
Begged him to stay in my cold wooden grip
Begged him to stay by the light of my ship
Me fighting him, fighting light, fighting dawn
The waves came and stole him and took him toward
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 say
Love me or not, he threw me away
He laughed at my sins in his arms I must stay
We write
That's alright
I miss his smell
We speak when spoken to
That suits us well, that suits us well
That suits me well
