Linda Allen - Eve lyrics

Eve Eve, you lived on the edge of town Seemed like a long way from nowhere Your mama took you to church every Sunday But you always felt like a stranger there They read you the story of Adam and Eve Eve --that's where it began They said all of the evil in the world took root When Eve gave the apple to the man You heard the words and they burned your cheeks Shame took the heart of this girl-child They said, watch what you wear, watch how you stand Even what you touch could be defiled- Eve, let me tell you the story again Eve was the Mother of All Living Snake was immortal, a symbol of hope In the garden no need for forgiving Standin' naked in the garden With the wind dancing through her hair She dared to know and she dared to love And it was good, Eve - Oh, you know it was good Eve ate the fruit for the knowledge she'd gain She shared it all with the Man Then they made love, and children came They laughed and danced in the Garden Who is this god that you worship and fear? Listen, your heart knows the answer Shame is no gift from a god, my dear Be proud you're a woman, sweet dancer CHORUS
