Jacob And Two Women - Rich Mullins[00:00:02]
Jacob he loved Rachel and Rachel she loved him[00:00:13]
And Leah was just there for dramatic effect[00:00:19]
Well it's right there in the Bible [00:00:26]
So it must not be a sin[00:00:29]
But it sure does seem like an awful dirty trick[00:00:32]
And her sky is just a petal pressed in a book of a memory[00:00:39]
Of the time he thought he loved her and they kissed[00:00:46]
And her friends say "Ah he's a devil"[00:00:52]
But she says "No he is a dream"[00:00:55]
This is the world as best as I can remember it[00:00:59]
Now Jacob got two women[00:01:11]
And a whole house full of kids[00:01:14]
And he schemed his way back to the promised land[00:01:17]
And he finds it's one thing to win 'em[00:01:24]
And it's another to keep 'em content[00:01:27]
When he knows that he is only just one man[00:01:30]
And his sky's an empty bottle[00:01:37]
And when he's drunk the ocean dry[00:01:39]
Well he sails off three sheets to some reckless wind[00:01:43]
And his friends say "Ain't it awful"[00:01:49]
And he says "No I think it's fine"[00:01:53]
And this is the world as best as I can remember it[00:01:57]
Now Rachel's weeping for the children[00:02:08]
That she thought she could not bear[00:02:11]
And she bears a sorrow that she cannot hide[00:02:14]
And she wishes she was with them[00:02:21]
But she looks and they're not there[00:02:24]
Seems that love comes for just a moment[00:02:27]
And then it passes on by[00:02:31]
And her sky is just a bandit[00:02:34]
Swinging at the end of a hangman's noose[00:02:37]
'Cause he stole the moon[00:02:41]
And must be made to pay for it[00:02:42]
And her friends say "My that's tragic"[00:02:47]
She says "Especially for the moon"[00:02:50]
This is the world as best as I can remember it[00:02:54]
This is the world as best as I can remember it[00:03:01]
This is the world as best as I can remember it[00:03:07]
