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 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 of stayed, you might understand
if he had of stayed, you never would have taken my hand
he wrote on love
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 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.
