Eden Lyrics
Whisper in my ear
Everything my dear
Every wicked vision that you carry
On your naked breast
I believe that was your best
Apple pie invention since we married
As God will be my judge
I'm not the man I was
Before I found you lying in the garden
Let's go buy some clothes
Some wool socks for your toes
Cause it might be much colder in the morning
Everything my dear
Every wicked vision that you carry
I believe that was your best
Apple pie invention since we married
I'm not the man I was
Before I found you lying in the garden
Some wool socks for your toes
Cause it might be much colder in the morning

This song seems to be playing on the Adam and Eve myth. In the Biblical narrative, Eve is tempted by a serpent to eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (commonly depicted as an apple) and shares some with Adam. They subsequently become aware of their nakedness and make clothing to cover themselves. For eating the forbidden fruit, they are expelled from the Garden of Eden.
In Beam's version, the narrator (Adam) compliments his wife (Eve) on her "apple pie invention" (the fruit from the tree of knowledge) and invites her to share "every wicked vision that you carry" with him. The narrator remarks that he is different since he found her, using the phrase "as God will be my judge", a play on the expression "as God is my witness", referring to God's impending judgment for their transgression. The narrator tenderly suggests to his wife that they buy clothing to prepare for their expulsion from the garden.
@treant I totally agree. To me it is a song about loving someone more than your better sense says you should and bracing for the consequences (risking God's judgement to stay close to Eve).

@treant I think this is a pretty good interpretation. In my opinion, this song is about forgiving your significant other and getting through that with them.
