St. Augustine`s Pears — текст песни (Petra)

Late one night I heard a knock at the door
The boys were really painting the town
I was just another bored teenage boy
Kickin` up and actin` the clown... Yeah
One dare led to another dare
Then things were getting out of control
We hopped the fence and we stole the pears
And I threw away a part of my soul
Yes, I threw away a part of my soul (now it`s)
Chorus:
Haunting me how I stole those pears
`Cause I loved the wrong
Even though I knew a better way
Not for hunger or poverty
It was more than pears that I ended up
throwin` away... Yeah
Time goes by - now I`m old and grey
Those pears are just a memory
I would gladly pay all I have today
But that`s just not the problem you
see... (`cause it`s)
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Why do we love all the things that are wrong
Forbidden fruit has a strange siren song
Why do we do what we don`t want to do
When we live with regrets our whole life
through
(Chorus)
And I don`t even like pears that well...
