Bethan's Song

from Ribbons - The LP by Elikah

/

lyrics

So she wrote me an e-mail
Neatly aligned in size 14 font
She asked how I was
But most of all, wanted to know why I'd thrown it in.

All that we'd vowed
Back when we were
16 there in front of the church
Just writing songs,
and singing melodies, "Had I forgotten about him?"

But she said, that God said:

I've been loving you a long time
I've been loving you a long time
I've been loving you a long time

They say you travel east
To find yourself,
Guess I did but then I lost him.
I guess that God just changes
The further east you go, the harder he seems to be to find
But then again I guess,
I could be mistaken, after all I didn't try

But she said..Chorus…

And you say that it doesn't matter how far I've managed to fall
You'll still wipe my grazed knees clean,
Pick me off the bottom of the floor.
