Dear lover forsaken, our love is taken away

You were my speaker, my innocence-keeper

I don't night after night, day after day

Would you watch my body weaken,
               D5
My mind drift away?

D5    Bb5    A5

Dear lover forgiven, my love is driven by rage
Oh I should just leave you, instead I've deceived you
But I don't, night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken
my mind drift away?

I count to no one, hold nobody's ear

I sold you my hand once and you hit me in fear

It is knowing, it is knowing

   D5                        Bb5
He longs for the answers, as all of us must
   A5
He longs for the woman who will conquer his lust

We weep in the evening and lie naked and pray

Could you watch my body weaken,
                   D5
and my mind drift away?

It's a tempting communion
                D5
It's a fate foretold

It is knowing, it is knowing
