lyrics

SHE

All it took was a moment
How easily he pulls away
And now a time for atonement
Where for his precious gift
she’ll pay

A willing passion play,
Or trust betrayed.
Whatever choice she makes
For this mistake
She’ll pay and pay and pay

We, count the crosses row on row
Not the dirt in where we
sow their seeds
She, a harbour or a vessel below
We stand above
With every stone she bleeds

Two lie awake in the darkness
A long hard day, an age-old need
The love they make
they soon part with
The weight of
one more mouth to feed

Working twice a day
For half a wage
Oh, and when he breaks
For this mistake
She’ll pay and pay and pay

We, count the crosses row on row
Not the dirt in where we
sow their seeds
She, a harbour or a vessel below
We stand above
With every stone she bleeds

All alone by the millions
In shame they suffer silently
Do we care where her life ends
Hospital bed or back alley

Keep her on her knees
Tending seeds
Oh, but who will feed
Those unwanted
When they turn to weeds

We, count the crosses row on row
Not the dirt in where we
sow their seeds
She, a harbour or a vessel below
We stand above
With every stone she bleeds

She, was more than just where flowers grow
What else she’d be we’ll never know, will we?
She, was more than just a vessel you know
She…
