Causes

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

Escape suffering, but 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

Escape suffering, but 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

Escapes suffering but she holds 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

I love you more than words could ever say

Thank you for remembering the way
