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 withering

In the shadows something is slithering

So go along there if you must

And try to do as I suggest

He's just a gathering of dust


And if he can't recall my name

Tell him to take his time, it's worth recovering

Look at me, and what I'm covered in

I'm covered in shame


I came back looking for my man

Wandered everywhere and then

Stood outside and gazed upon

A beautiful garden, a shimmering 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 offering

There is always someone on the outside doing all of the suffering


In the orchard, apples are withering

In the shadows, something is slithering

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
