The Fall of Eve
Here I am awake again
In the shadow of a dream
The taste of all my innocence
Lingers in my teeth
I was born for loneliness
I tried to understand
If there was something more for me
Than just to hold his hand
Wind was made for sailing
Birds were made to fly
Guess I was made for searching
To find a reason why
I should long to taste a fruit
Never meant for me
Why the purpose for the first of us
Was the curse of humanity
I was born without a mother
I was left here in the world
Told to nurture everything
Told I was just a girl
And maybe it was all my fault
Maybe it was wrong
But the fall of man seemed certain
Way before I came along
Waves were made for crashing
The moon was made to shine
Guess I was made for searching to find a reason why
I should long to taste a fruit
Never meant for me
Why the purpose for the first of us
Was the curse of humanity
Father, I was good to you, wasn't I?
I did everything else you said to do, didn't I?
Wasn't it with grace you said I should live my life?
Maybe that's the space between you and I
Waves were made for crashing
The birds were made to fly
Guess I was made for searching to find a reason why
I should long to taste a fruit
Never meant for me
Why the purpose for the first of us
Was the curse of humanity
Why the purpose for the first of us
Was the curse of humanity
Why the purpose for the first of us
Had to fall on me
In the shadow of a dream
The taste of all my innocence
Lingers in my teeth
I was born for loneliness
I tried to understand
If there was something more for me
Than just to hold his hand
Wind was made for sailing
Birds were made to fly
Guess I was made for searching
To find a reason why
I should long to taste a fruit
Never meant for me
Why the purpose for the first of us
Was the curse of humanity
I was born without a mother
I was left here in the world
Told to nurture everything
Told I was just a girl
And maybe it was all my fault
Maybe it was wrong
But the fall of man seemed certain
Way before I came along
Waves were made for crashing
The moon was made to shine
Guess I was made for searching to find a reason why
I should long to taste a fruit
Never meant for me
Why the purpose for the first of us
Was the curse of humanity
Father, I was good to you, wasn't I?
I did everything else you said to do, didn't I?
Wasn't it with grace you said I should live my life?
Maybe that's the space between you and I
Waves were made for crashing
The birds were made to fly
Guess I was made for searching to find a reason why
I should long to taste a fruit
Never meant for me
Why the purpose for the first of us
Was the curse of humanity
Why the purpose for the first of us
Was the curse of humanity
Why the purpose for the first of us
Had to fall on me
