[00:11.99]Forgive me Hera I cannot stay
[00:17.12]He cut out my tongue there is nothing to say
[00:23.99]Love me oh Lord he threw me away
[00:29.55]He laughed at my sins in his arms I must stay
[00:37.10]He wrote: 'I'm broke please send for me '
[00:47.70]But I'm broke in two and spoken for do not tempt me
[00:57.90]Her skin is white and I'm light as the sun
[01:02.53]So holy light shines on the things you have done
[01:09.94]So I asked him how he became this man
[01:14.58]How did he learn to hold fruit in his hands
[01:19.20]And where is the lamb that gave you your name
[01:24.45]He had to leave though I begged him to stay
[01:31.02]Left me alone when I needed the light
[01:35.58]Fell to my knees and I wept for my life
[01:40.70]If he had of stayed you might understand
[01:45.20]If he had of stayed you never would have taken my hand
[01:52.83]He wrote: 'I'm low please send for me '
[02:03.04]But I'm broke in two and spoken for do not tempt me
[02:12.87]And where is the lamb that gave you your name
[02:17.81]He had to leave though I begged him to stay
[02:24.00]Begged him to stay in my cold wooden grip
[02:28.81]Begged him to stay by the light of this ship
[02:33.63]Me fighting him fighting life fighting dawn
[02:38.17]And the waves came and stole him and took him to war
[02:45.22]He wrote: 'I'm broke please send for me '
[02:55.32]But I'm broke in two and spoken for do not tempt me
[03:04.82]Forgive me Hera I cannot stay
[03:10.14]He cut out my tongue there is nothing to say
[03:16.63]Love me oh Lord he threw me away
[03:21.19]He laughed at my sins in his arms I must stay
[03:28.95]We write that's alright I miss his smell
[03:39.33]We speak when spoken to that suits us well
[03:50.01]That suits us well
[03:55.57]That suits me well
