Original Sin
you danced with me for a while
baring your deep soul
telling me of plans you made
before you had to go
little of me did you learn
as all of your dreams spilled forth
I tried so hard to hold on to you
the road had too many forks
secrets of a mysterious life
you kept them all to yourself
guarding all of those little white lies
boxed high upon the shelf
another morning after many a night
I woke to find you gone
I knew your distant devil
was finally draggin' you along
you packed it in all the original sin
with your list for all you yearn
hold me tight, one last time
on my forehead your lips burn
you swore you were heading for happiness
and for wanting you had no shame
I loved you and I lost you
you'll find that neither will you
when I come to you in dreams
