A dark smoky rain cloud caught fire under the sky burning down into your eyes
Searing steam rose from my stranded earth as you lifted me up from my lies
I remember well that glancing stare that held me down low against my shame
Boring in melting skin I asked for one more chance to change again
Forgiveness
.
Warm wet crying eyes and whispering lips wash and shush away all of my useless lies
Each way horses shall pull away my arms before I speak a lie against your name
And I shall die a thousand times before the dawn if I wrong a single sparkle on your ring
Let all alive hold you on exalted high and me down low this sinful man of bedded woes
Forgiveness
.
It is a man who has fallen lowly into the ground up dirt
That he alone knows the shame and of a mans better worth
And I above all shall show you now
From dirt to love, it was you who showed me how
Forgiveness works
