Lyrics

First Time: Please Forgive Me

Please Sir take cover I’m about to discover a lesson in sin
You could run for the door but you have been forewarned there’s a storm coming
Yes I’ve been courted, my plans thwarted by the crossing guards eyes
And the placebo I chose because it’s the smell not the rose that gets me high
And oh my tears they flow rivers from streams
And my eyes they flow to you
Sisters please, please forgive me
Sister please, please forgive me
Sister please forgive me
And I’ll see you for the first time
I doubted love so I push and I shove to replace these needs
But the pain how it grows now I’m yearning for the rose of a mother so sweet
But oh my love won’t you lay with me once again
In this union we hold forever
Sisters please, please forgive me
Sister please, please forgive me
Sister please, please forgive me
And I’ll see you for the first time
