⠀ ⠀ ⠀penélope
⠀ ⠀ ⠀is it you? have my prayers been answered?
⠀ ⠀ ⠀is it really you standing there, or am i
⠀ ⠀ ⠀dreaming once more?
⠀ ⠀ ⠀you look different, your eyes look tired
⠀ ⠀ ⠀your frame is lighter, your smile torn
⠀ ⠀ ⠀is it really you, my love?
⠀ ⠀ ⠀i am not the man you fell in love with
⠀ ⠀ ⠀i am not the man you once adored
⠀ ⠀ ⠀i am not your kind and gentle husband
⠀ ⠀ ⠀and I am not the love you knew before
⠀ ⠀ ⠀what kinds of things did you do?
⠀ ⠀ ⠀left a trail of red on every island
⠀ ⠀ ⠀as i traded friends like objects I could use
⠀ ⠀ ⠀hurt more lives than i can count on my hands
⠀ ⠀ ⠀but all of that was to bring me back to you
⠀ ⠀ ⠀so tell me
⠀ ⠀ ⠀would you fall in love with me again
⠀ ⠀ ⠀if you knew all I've done?
⠀ ⠀ ⠀the things I can't undo
⠀ ⠀ ⠀i am not the man you knew
⠀ ⠀ ⠀i know that you've been waiting, waiting
⠀ ⠀ ⠀if that's true, could you do me a favor?
⠀ ⠀ ⠀just a moment of labor that would bring me
⠀ ⠀ ⠀some peace
⠀ ⠀ ⠀see that wedding bed? could you carry it
⠀ ⠀ ⠀over?
⠀ ⠀ ⠀lift it high on your shoulders and take it far
⠀ ⠀ ⠀away from here
⠀ ⠀ ⠀how could you say this?
⠀ ⠀ ⠀i had built that wedding bed with my blood
⠀ ⠀ ⠀and sweat
⠀ ⠀ ⠀carved it into the olive tree where we first
⠀ ⠀ ⠀met
⠀ ⠀ ⠀a symbol of our love everlasting
⠀ ⠀ ⠀do you realize what you have asked me?
⠀ ⠀ ⠀the only way to move it is to cut it from its
⠀ ⠀ ⠀roots
⠀ ⠀ ⠀only my husband knew that
⠀ ⠀ ⠀so i guess that makes him you
⠀ ⠀ ⠀penélope
⠀ ⠀ ⠀i will fall in love with you over and over again
⠀ ⠀ ⠀i don't care how, where, or when
⠀ ⠀ ⠀no matter how long it's been, you're mine
⠀ ⠀ ⠀don't tell me you're not the same person
⠀ ⠀ ⠀you're always my husband and o've been
⠀ ⠀ ⠀waiting, waiting
⠀ ⠀ ⠀penélope
⠀ ⠀ ⠀waiting, waiting (penélope)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀waiting, waiting
⠀ ⠀ ⠀waiting, oh
⠀ ⠀ ⠀for you
⠀ ⠀ ⠀how long has it been?
⠀ ⠀ ⠀twenty years
⠀ ⠀ ⠀i-i love you
