Adam's Lament

Life was good, we both were free
A paradise for you and me
No worries then to cloud my mind
The past was good, yeah, but it's behind

I see it now as plain as day
You offered me, what could I say?
A piece of fruit placed in my hand
A careless bite by a carefree man

It's too late now
You'll never find
The innocence of youth
That fragrance has been left behind
What does it mean?

I tell myself you're still the same
It did no harm to play that game
But that piece of fruit cost me my peace of mind
