Hosea and Gomer

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 seeI’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 moreYou’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 fleeI’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
