Eden

from Part Pilgrim by Michael Rose

lyrics

My momma told me since I was young
Adam was no better than Eve
Not a day goes by, where I don’t sin
And take an apple from that historic tree

Well I don’t need some fancy life
I don’t want to have to fake my smile
I know if my chain is weak, it won’t be from a moral link
Conforming just ain’t my style

I’ll be your Adam you be my Eve
We’ll make our own Eden, here in Austin, Tx…baby

You can’t put a bandaid on a broken heart
You can’t just wave a wand to go back to start
Just turn around, and walk towards tomorrow
And tell yourself to just … just let it go
Let it goooooo
Let it gooo, let it go
Oh G-d please help me let it go

No amount of broken bones can compare to the pain of windin’ up alone, so I
Take a step back and so that I can ask, will you be with me baby till the futures past

I’ll be yo Adam, You’ll be my eve
We’ll make our own Eden here in…Austin, Texas…baby
