You said, “go and sin no more …” / Though my eyes could not meet Yours / I started running the third time the rooster crowed

You threw a party just for me / Though I squandered everything / I was blinded in the middle of the road

Climbed up in a tree to see You / Swallowed by the sea to flee You / Sold You for a little silver and a kiss

Killed a man to love his woman / Burned a bridge back to Your garden / Hung beside You while you took Your final breath

You’ve been loving me since time began / You’re behind my every second chance

I love You / I’m trying to / Love You more / I’m ready / Please help me / Love You more

I keep thinking there’s a limit / Sure I must be getting near it / When I’ve used up every pardon and regret

But You promise there is freedom / Gathered up the broken pieces / Scattered them as far as East is from the West

With all the sand that fills the hourglass / With every breath between my first and last
