Lyrics
I had wondered what was done to you
To give you such a taste of flesh
I guess, for years, I just carried on
Didn't feel much of a choice to suppress
I hope your memory is less vivid than mine
And is free from that awful maple light
I have to say, I still wish you had just done it in the dark
So the pictures didn't burn so bright
But I forgive you now
Release you from all of the blame I know how
And I'll forgive you now
As if saying the words will help me know how
Please help me know how
I'm afraid it will take a time
I make my case to the Shahanshah as I bring him his cup
And I'll tell him the best I can what I need
To build the walls of my Jerusalem back up
And I have reckoned with what you've taken from me
And I killed that liar in my head
I buried him beneath the maple tree
There's no joy in dancin' with the dead
But I'll forgive you now
Release you from all of the blame I know how
And I'll forgive you know
As if sayin' the words will help me know how
How
How
