Lyrics

[00:04.45] What He Wrote
[00:11.20] Forgive me Hera
[00:13.39] I cannot stay
[00:16.64] He cut out my tongue
[00:19.08] There is nothing to say
[00:23.58] Love me? oh no
[00:25.95] He threw me away
[00:28.64] He laughed at my sins
[00:31.33] In his arms I must stay
[00:36.77] He wrote
[00:39.27] I'm broke
[00:42.08] Please send for me
[00:47.21] I'm broken too
[00:49.90] And spoken for
[00:52.77] Do not
[00:53.84] Tempt me
[00:57.34] Her skin is fun
[00:59.78] And I'm light as the sun
[01:02.28] So holy light shines
[01:04.65] On the things
[01:05.78] You have done
[01:08.97] So I asked him
[01:10.97] How he became this man?
[01:13.97] How that he learned
[01:15.91] To hold fruit in his hands?
[01:18.91] And where is the lamb
[01:21.41] That gave you your name?
[01:24.06] He had to leave
[01:25.69] Though I begged him to stay left you alone
[01:32.35] When I needed the light
[01:35.29] Fell to my knees
[01:37.72] And I wept for your life!
[01:40.41] If he had of stayed
[01:42.72] You might understand
[01:45.20] If he had of stayed
[01:46.89] You never would've taken my hand
[01:52.65] He wrote
[01:54.02] I'm alone
[01:57.71] Please send for me
[02:02.15] But I'm broken too
[02:05.52] And spoken for
[02:08.21] Do not
[02:09.09] Tempt me
[02:12.21] And where is the lamb
[02:14.59] That gave you your name?
[02:17.53] He had to flee
[02:19.22] Though I begged him to stay
[02:23.72] Begged him to stay
[02:25.47] In my cold wooden grip
[02:28.34] Begged him to stay
[02:30.22] By the light of my ship
[02:33.09] Me fighting him
[02:35.28] Fighting light
[02:36.16] Fighting dawn
[02:37.85] The waves came
[02:38.97] And stole him
[02:39.91] And took him toward
[02:45.47] He wrote
[02:47.47] I'm broke
[02:50.02] Please send for me
[02:55.02] But I'm broken too
[02:57.59] And spoken for
[03:00.27] Do not
[03:00.96] Tempt me.
[03:04.34] Forgive me
[03:05.34] Dear
[03:07.03] I cannot stay
[03:09.65] He cut out my tongue
[03:11.71] There is nothing to say
[03:15.90] Love me or not
[03:18.22] He threw me away
[03:20.72] He laughed at my sins
[03:23.09] In his arms I must stay
[03:28.28] We write
[03:30.78] That's alright
[03:33.66] I miss his smell
[03:38.78] And we speak
[03:41.48] When spoken to
[03:44.47] That suits us well
