Pardon me, Madam, my name is Eve
|
I think it's time for you to leave
|
I don't believe that we have met
|
That's one thing you would not forget
|
|
In another time or life
|
When I was his only wife
|
When I was his only bride
|
Before I was torn out from his side
|
|
In the orchard apples are withering
|
In the shadows something is slithering
|
So go along there if you must
|
And try to do as I suggest
|
He's just a gathering of dust
|
|
And if he can't recall my name
|
Tell him to take his time, it's worth recovering
|
Look at me, and what I'm covered in
|
I'm covered in shame
|
|
I came back looking for my man
|
Wandered everywhere and then
|
Stood outside and gazed upon
|
A beautiful garden, a shimmering pond
|
|
See the sunlight on the leaves that dapple
|
Did you see my little teeth marks on the apple?
|
Don't close the door on the hand I'm offering
|
There is always someone on the outside doing all of the suffering
|
|
In the orchard, apples are withering
|
In the shadows, something is slithering
|
But in another time or life
|
When I was his only wife
|
When I was his only bride
|
Before I was torn out
|
Before I was torn out
|
Before I was torn out
|
From his side
|
|
Pardon me, Madam, my name is Eve
|
Pardon me, Madam, my name is Eve
|
I think it's time for one of us to leave
|
