3:45 – December 20
I’ve let it go – I won’t be headed south again

I walked away from the words that I read
I was in denial – I thought it was all just in my head

I am Eve – climbing a tree to pass the time
I am Adam – headed for the fall
I am Eve – reaching for the apple
I am Adam – Afraid to lose it all

Not everything I need to pack fits in a box
I may need to leave some memories behind

And what will ferment in this concrete basement
I don’t know
I will drink the remnants in the wine…

I am Eve – climbing a tree to pass the time
I am Adam – headed for the fall
I am Eve – reaching for the apple
I am Adam – Afraid to lose it all

I am leaving the Garden for the Mountains across town
And I’ll miss the Orchard but I’d better get lost if I’m ever going to be found
I’m going to be found

I think that there may be hope beyond Eden
I know that there is hope beyond wherever we’ve been

I am Eve – walking barefoot along a dirt road
I am Adam – running from the fall
I am Eve – I have the apple
I am Adam – and I have lost it all

I AM
