They stored their passion in the creases   In the corners of their mouths   Every angle of light from the open window   Washed their aged faces out   Should we feel guilty, they said   Should we feel guilty for this sin   Lord, did we kill a man and woman   Just to lie her skin to skin      I wasn't happy   I wasn't happy where I was   What is life without a purpose   What is purpose without love   I pray my children will forgive me   Though I bade the river flood   I have washed my hands a thousand times   But still can see the blood   I still can see the blood      Oh great mercy, I am here to beg forgiveness for this mess   I know I tore two worlds apart   But I can't change the way I felt   Love swept in like a storm and ripped the hinges from the doors   Love poured in like a flood   I couldn't stop it anymore   I will not be   No I will not be drowned      She said, lover come and hold me   I am terribly afraid   While you're shouting at the stars   My scars are not fading away   He said, darling, I was begging heaven make them disappear   But see, I didn't get an answer or at least one I could hear   Now I am thinking of the past and how we both said vows and lied   And I am wondering how we trust ourselves to say a second time   To say a second time      To have and to hold   From this day and onward   For better or for worse   For richer or poorer   In sickness and in health   To love and to cherish   Till death do us part   Till death do us part
