As With Gladness Lyrics
As with gladness men of old did the shining world behold
And so she took us down to the water's edge
Said if we are not, careful with what we do
We will reach a final end
She gave him everything
But he held her down and he tore her coat
I shouldn't have loved you
I shouldn't have loved you
As with gladness men of old did the shining world believe
And so took them down some bread
But when he up and threw away the seed
You could see her look away and sadly shake her head
She gave him everything
But he held her down and he tore her coat
I shouldn't have loved you
I shouldn't have loved you
We want for the blood of the earth
To cure up the vine, but we roll it aside
We roll it aside, we roll it aside, we roll it aside
She gave him everything
But he held her down and he tore her coat
I shouldn't have loved you
I shouldn't have loved you
She gave him everything
But he held her down and he tore her coat
I shouldn't have loved you
I shouldn't have loved you
