What He Wrote Lyrics
Forgive me here,
I cannot stay
He cut out my tongue,
There is nothing to sayLove me? Oh lord, he threw me away,
He laughed at my sins, in his arms I must stayHe wrote, I'm broke
Please send for me
But I'm broken too,
And spoken for
Do not, tempt meHer skin is white, and I'm light as the sun,
So holy light shines, on the things, you have doneSo 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 stayLeft me alone, when I needed the light
Fell to my knees, and I wept for my lifeIf he had of stayed, you might understand
If he had of stayed, you never would've taken my handHe wrote,
I'm low
Please send for me
But I'm broken too,
And spoken for
Do not, tempt meAnd where is the lamb, that gave you your name?
He had to leave, though I begged him to stayBegged him to stay, in my cold wooden grip
Begged him to stay, by the light of my shipMe fighting him,
Fighting light,
Fighting dawn
And the waves came,
And stole him,
And took him towardHe wrote,
I'm broke
Please send for me
But I'm broken too,
And spoken for
Do not, tempt meForgive me, here, I cannot stay
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 stayWe write
That's alright
I miss his smellWe speak,
When spoken to
That suits us well
That suits us well
That suits me well
