Lyrics
Oh, my tawny one
Is it love you're running from?
Come on and tell us when you're done
And have you suffered enough?
Or still bound by a lover's keep
Pleading don't go back to sleep
But oh, my, my sensation
Had me reaching for the heel
Had me begging for the end of this reel
Saying oh no, anything but this
This pain that I resist
This pain that persists
We hate suffering
But we think we love its causes (we think we love its causes)
Escape suffering
But we hold on to its causes (we hold on to its causes)
Every time I turn my back
Every time I walk away there's a voice, I hear it say
"Have you suffered enough?
Or can we play with the tragedy
As just another way to get free?"
We hate suffering
But we think we love its causes (we think we love its causes)
Escape suffering
But we hold on to its causes (we hold on to its causes)
Oh, la la lay
Forgive me, I was lost, I was astray
Oh, la la lay
Thank you for remembering the way
Oh, la la lay, ooh
Oh, la la lay, ooh
Jenny was a dream in the mind of Hannah as she slept in her bed
Dreaming she was Jenny instead
Jenny pulls a book down from the shelf
She finds solace in the words, solace for a separate self
She hates suffering
But she thinks she loves its causes (she thinks she love its causes)
Escapes suffering
But she holds on to its causes (she hold on to its causes)
Oh, la la lay, ooh
Oh, la la lay
Sorry that I caused you any pain
Oh, la la lay
Forgive me, I was lost, I was astray
Oh, la la lay
Thank you for remembering the way
Oh, la la lay
I love you more than words could ever say
Oh, la la lay, ooh
Oh, la la lay, ooh
Oh, la la lay
Love you more than words could ever say
Thank you for remembering the way
