sometimes you need penance
You said it was more a priest
To whom we confess
Our wants and our sorrows.
Mother Mary, take me....
I said forgive me,
For I have spoken evil.
My deliberate evil, for which
There is no exoneration.
My dearest friend, take me....
I said I would leave,
Never to return to this place,
With its grey sky-wall and mountains.
I packed a book bag in the dark.
Oh, world, take me. Take me....

Take Me
I said sex was the enemy.You said it was more a priest
To whom we confess
Our wants and our sorrows.
Mother Mary, take me....
I said forgive me,
For I have spoken evil.
My deliberate evil, for which
There is no exoneration.
My dearest friend, take me....
I said I would leave,
Never to return to this place,
With its grey sky-wall and mountains.
I packed a book bag in the dark.
Oh, world, take me. Take me....
