lyrics

You told me that things would get better,
that it won't be long until I belong.
You told me that things would get better,
that I could be strong.
How could you be so wrong?

I wanted Abel to love me,
I wanted Abel to hear.
I wanted Abel to love me,
I wanted Abel to hear,
why wouldn't he?

Eve, you are just like the beach,
standing still but dragged out to sea.
Is it cause you still miss home?
Is love holding on or letting go?
Mother, I need to know.

I wanted Abel to love me,
I wanted Abel to hear.
I wanted Abel to love me,
I wanted Abel to hear,
why wouldn't he?

Among the dead leaves at twilight,
I hear Father call my name.
But I know the stories they're writing,
I've heard what he said-
that I am not his son.

I wanted Abel to love me,
I wanted Abel to hear.
I wanted Abel to love me,
I wanted Abel to hear,
why wouldn't he?

Among the dead leaves at twilight,
why wouldn't he?
