Sin For A Season Lyrics - Singles - Steve Taylor

There's a sweaty hand handling his cocktail napkin 

"Come on up and see me", is scribbled with a gold pen 

But you'd better ring twice 

Seven months after his little indiscretion 

He sits with his wife at a therapy session 

For a little advice 

If the healing happens as the time goes by 

Tell me why I still can't look her in the eye 

God I'm only human, got no other reason 

Sin for a season 

There's a shaky hand shaking with the hand of her hostess 

Drank a little much, but she'll drive herself home 

If she can make it to her care 

She never saw the sign or the boy with his daddy 

Driving home late from their very first ballgame 

And they don't get far 

Now the years run together as her guilt goes wild 

She still sees the body of an only child 

God I'm only human, got no other reason 

Sin for a season, sin for a season 

Sin for a season, sin for a season 

Wealthy lips say, "Keep us from the evil one" 

While the praying hands prey with deliberate cunning 

On the carcass of the cold 

Gonna get the Good Lord to forgive a little sin 

Get the slate cleaned so he can dirty it again 

And no one else will ever know 

But he reaps his harvest as his heart grows hard 

No man's gonna make a mockery of God 

I'm only human, got no other reason 

Sin for a season, sin for a season 

Sin for a season, sin for a season 

Sin for a season, sin for a season 

Sin for a season, sin for a season 

Sin for a season
