i committed a sin
on the night of the eve
it was something
i swore i would
never forget.

i committed a sin
on the night of the eve
when everyone was happy
they were smiling
they were laughing.

i committed a sin
on the night of the eve
when husbands and wives
held hands
under the tree.

i committed a sin
on the night of the eve
do you remember,
past lover,
your anguished tears?
