The Fall of Eve Lyrics

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
