Penance

She was a flame, a child at heart
Beautifully still, like a faded piece of art
She was reserved, but never naive
Warmth and respite were the gifts she would leave

And she loved to love, though she's never loved herself

She was so young, but never afraid
No concern at all in her glory days

And she loved to love, though she's never loved herself

Mother Earth, I've been so foolish
Could it be I've been deceived
Father Sky, could you forgive me for the times I felt I had to leave

Mother Earth, I've been so foolish
Could it be I've been deceived
Father Sky, could you forgive me for the times I felt I had to leave

Mother Earth, I've been so foolish
Could it be I've been deceived
Father Sky, could you forgive me for the times I felt I had to leave

Mother Earth, I've been so foolish
Could it be I've been deceived
Father Sky, could you forgive me for the times I felt I had to leave

Mother Earth, I've been so foolish
Could it be I've been deceived
Father Sky, could you forgive me for the times I felt I had to leave

Mother Earth, I've been so foolish
Could it be I've been deceived
Father Sky, could you forgive me for the times I felt I had to leave

And she loved to love

Though she's never loved herself
