Lyrics
0:11Forgive me Hera I cannot stay
0:17He cut out my tongue there is nothing to say
0:23Love me oh Lord he threw me away
0:29He laughed at my sins in his arms I must stay
0:37He wrote: 'I'm broke please send for me '
0:47But I'm broke in two and spoken for do not tempt me
0:57Her skin is white and I'm light as the sun
1:02So holy light shines on the things you have done
1:09So I asked him how he became this man
1:14How did he learn to hold fruit in his hands
1:19And where is the lamb that gave you your name
1:24He had to leave though I begged him to stay
1:31Left me alone when I needed the light
1:35Fell to my knees and I wept for my life
1:40If he had of stayed you might understand
1:45If he had of stayed you never would have taken my hand
1:52He wrote: 'I'm low please send for me '
2:03But I'm broke in two and spoken for do not tempt me
2:12And where is the lamb that gave you your name
2:17He had to leave though I begged him to stay
2:24Begged him to stay in my cold wooden grip
2:28Begged him to stay by the light of this ship
2:33Me fighting him fighting life fighting dawn
2:38And the waves came and stole him and took him to war
2:45He wrote: 'I'm broke please send for me '
2:55But I'm broke in two and spoken for do not tempt me
3:04Forgive me Hera I cannot stay
3:10He cut out my tongue there is nothing to say
3:16Love me oh Lord he threw me away
3:21He laughed at my sins in his arms I must stay
3:28We write that's alright I miss his smell
3:39We speak when spoken to that suits us well
3:50That suits us well
3:55That suits me well
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 broke in two 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 of stayed you might understand If he had of stayed you never would have taken my hand He wrote: 'I'm low please send for me ' But I'm broke in two 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 life 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 broke in two 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 oh Lord 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
