pardon me madam, my name is eve

pardon me

madam

my name is eve

i think it's time for you to leave

i don't believe that we have met

that's one thing you would not forget

in another time or life

when i was his only wife

when i was his only bride

before i was torn out from his side

in the orchard apples are withering

in the shadows something is slithering

so go along there if you must

and try to do as i suggest

he's just a gathering of dust

and if he can't recall my name

tell him to take his time

it's worth recovering

look at me

and what i'm covered in

i'm covered in shame

i came back looking for my man

wandered everywhere and then

stood outside and gazed upon

a beautiful garden

a shimmering pond

see the sunlight on the leaves that dapple

did you see my little teeth marks on the apple?

don't close the door on the hand i'm offering

there is always someone on the outside doing all of the suffering

in the orchard

apples are withering

in the shadows

something is slithering

but in another time or life

when i was his only wife

when i was his only bride

before i was torn out

before i was torn out

before i was torn out

from his side

pardon me

madam

my name is eve

pardon me

madam

my name is eve

i think it's time for one of us to leave
