Song of Gomer Lyrics
Don't know what he sees in me He is spirit, he is free And I, the wife of adultery Gomer is my name Simply more than I can see How he keeps on forgiving me How he keeps his sanity Hosea, you're a fool
CHORUS A fool to love someone like me A fool to suffer silently But sometimes through your eyes I see I'd rather be a fool
The fondness of a father The passion of a child The tenderness of a loving friend An understanding smile All of this and so much more You've lavished on a faithless whore I've never known love like this before Hosea, you're a fool
CHORUS
This God of yours would not have told To lift a love that you couldn't hold And though time and time again I flee I'm always glad to see you coming after me
Simply more than I can see How he keeps on forgiving me The wife of adultery And Gomer is my name
