when I walk beside her
I am the better man
when I look to leave her
I always stagger back again

once I built an ivory tower
so I could worship from above
when I climb down to be set free
she took me in again

when I see her inner charm, she just throws it back at me

once I dug an early grave
to find a better land
she just smiled and laughed at me
and took her rules back again

once I stood to lose her
when I saw what I had done
bowed down and threw away the hours
of her garden and her sun

so I tried to want her
I turned to see her weep
40 days and 40 nights
and it’s still coming down on me
