Songtext von Sad Prayers For Guilty Bodies

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
