Pardon Me, Madam, My Name Is Eve Lyrics

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 witherin'
In the shadows somethin' is slitherin'
So go along there if you must
And try to do as I suggest
He's just a gatherin' of dust

And if he can't recall my name
Tell him to take his time, it's worth recoverin'
Look at me, and what I'm covered in
I'm covered in shame

I came back lookin' for my man
Wandered everywhere and then
Stood outside and gazed upon
A beautiful garden, a shimmerin' 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 offerin'
There is always someone on the outside doin' all of the sufferin'

In the orchard, apples are witherin'
In the shadows, somethin' is slitherin'
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
