petra - st. augustine's pears lyrics

Loading...

words and music by bob hartman
based on romans 7: 19

late one night i heard a knock at the door
the boys were really painting the town
i was just another bored teenage boy
kickin’ up and actin’ the clown… yeah

one dare led to another dare
then things were getting out of control
we hopped the fence and we stole the pears
and i threw away a part of my soul
yes, i threw away a part of my soul (now it’s)

(chorus)
haunting me how i stole those pears
’cause i loved the wrong
even though i knew a better way
not for hunger or poverty
it was more than pears that i ended up
throwin’ away… yeah

time goes by – now i’m old and grey
those pears are just a memory
i would gladly pay all i have today
but that’s just not the problem you
see… (’cause it’s)

(chorus)

bridge:
why do we love all the things that are wrong
forbidden fruit has a strange siren song
why do we do what we don’t want to do
when we live with regrets our whole lifethrough

repeat chorus

and i don’t even like pears that well…
