Thomas Z. Shepard - Johanna (Mea Culpa) lyrics

[TURPIN] Mea culpa, mea culpa Mea maxima culpa Mea maxima maxima culpa! God deliever me! Release me! Forgive me! Restrain me! Pervade me! Johanna, Johanna So suddenly a woman The light behind your window It penetrates your gown Johanna, Johanna The sun--I see the sun through your-- No! God! Deliver me! Deliver me! Down! Down Down..... Johanna, Johanna I watch you from the shadows You sigh before your window And gaze upon the town Your lips part, Johanna So young and soft and beautiful-- God! Deliver me! Filth. Leave me! Johanna, Johanna I treasured you in innocence And loved you like a daughter You mock me, Johanna You tempt me with your innocence You tempt with those quivering-- No! God! Deliver me! It will--- Stop--- Now! It will--- Stop--- Right Now Right Now Right Now... Johanna, Johanna I cannot keep you longer The world is at your window You want to fly away You stir me, Johanna So suddenly a woman I cannot watch you one more day-- God! Deliver me! God! Deliver me! God! Deliver--! God! Johanna, Johanna I'll keep you here forever I'll wed on the morrow Johanna, Johanna The world will never touch you I'll wed you on the morrow As years pa**, Johanna You'll tend me in my solitude No longer as my daughter As a woman Johanna, Johanna I'll hold you here forever then You'll keep away from windows and You'll deliver me Johanna From this hot red devil With your soft white cool virgin palms
