Lyrics
If I remember the night that we met
Tasted a wine that I'll never forget
Opened the doorway and saw through the light
Motions of movement and I felt delight
She spoke of freedom, "A way in," she said
"A wisdom that took me away from the bed"
Spoke of the glory that we had become
I felt forgiven in all I've become
Small, tasteless, and forgot
Hoping to see, blinded like me
You tried to understand, but you're just a man
Open to scorn just like me
Failure again
Tried to pretend
Who you were then
Who you are now
[Chorus]
Hating the lord
Hating the lord
Hating the lord
Hating the lord
Small, tasteless, and forgot
Hoping to see, blinded like me
You tried to understand, but you're just a man
Open to scorn just like me
Failure again
Tried to pretend
Who you were then
Who you are now
[Chorus]
