Not In This Life lyrics

It's cold for early June but the sun is rising fast There's a dew up on the quiet hill where he lays in the grass Staring up at Heaven's gates to see if he can see in Jesus' eyes The woman that he thinks of is still lying fast asleep As he asks for resolution and prays his soul to keep A man of God in love can't touch a man of God, temptation, sun rise But it doesn't mean I don't love you It doesn't mean I don't care It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to run my fingers through your hair It doesn't mean I wouldn't make sweet love to you so right It just means not in this life This has always been the path for him since the age of nine or ten And if only he remembered now the things he knew back then It seemed God had a plan for him A clear and decisive role But he never would have seen her if she hadn't come to pray If she didn't need forgiveness, he'd be a holy man today If she wasn't so damn beautiful If her eyes didn't bleed into his soul Dear God, I am sorry for my sins Dear God, I am sorry for the situation I'm in He'll analyze the burning, the tremble in his chest Falls behind on duties and he's sleeping less and less He doesn't pay attention in church He doesn't answer to his name when people call He's got himself this apple and it's looking so damn good But just because he can bite it, it doesn't mean he should He lets her know his feelings Eden is burning and he doesn't care at all I'm sorry for my sins I'm sorry for my sins I'm sorry for my sins I'm sorry for my sins I'm sorry for my sins I'm sorry for my sins Well I am sorry for my sins, yeah I am sorry for my sins But it doesn't mean I don't love you It doesn't mean I don't care It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to run my fingers through your hair It doesn't mean I wouldn't make sweet love to you so right It just means not in this Just means not in this It just means not in this life I'm sorry for my I'm sorry for my I'm sorry for my sins
