Oh my darling
Did you hear me calling?
I knew you'd pluck that fruit one day
Oh I tried to guard you
Perhaps I starved you
For too long babe, who's to say?
This world holds sickness
Death and evil
But don't go thinking that's where she lands
I ain't got proof
But I've got a feeling
That love and sorrow are holding hands
Honey don't hide your face from me
This world ain't fair
I don't have the answers
And mind the snakes that say they do
But I know that love is
Stronger than poison
And love's the fire that sees you through
Maybe love needs a trap door
To let you know ain't trapped for
Eternity without your say
Or maybe God is young
Like the child before me
And we're all finding our own way
Honey don't hide your face from me
Don't hold no shame
For knowing evil
And losing your way from time to time
When you were born
God our Mother
Said you were good and She ain't changed Her mind
You are made of stardust
You are made of mystery
You are made of hope and not of fear
Oh my darling
Oh my constellation
You let me know that heaven's near
Honey don't hide your face from me
