Confession - Lyrics - Heather Dale

Heather Dale is a Canadian Celtic recording artist and touring musician. She records and performs primarily her own original songs, which draw their inspiration from the folklore, mythology and history of various Celtic and non-Celtic cultures, along with some elements of modern fantasy literature. Her musical style is a mix of traditional and modern, influenced by Celtic folk, folk-rock, New Age, and world music. She has been compared to Loreena McKennitt, Sarah McLachlan, and Judy Collins.

So here I am again, I think I've sinned I can't exactly place the how or why. I tried to be a sister and a friend I never dreamed she'd give this winged reply. The one I told you all about The pretty one who came here, so devout She told me all the things she felt she'd lost And all the things she feared to be without. I told her all the things that I've been told Those comforts that I took when I was young But still, I think she only saw me old I don't know what I said to make her run. So here I am again, I think I've sinned I can't exactly place the how or why I tried to be a sister and a friend I never dreamed she'd give this winged reply. She's given up the veil, the vows she'd sworn Abandoned every effort to conform Without a word to anyone she's gone her way alone A dove escaping back into the storm I tried to show her I could understand But still she chose to leave me for the cold It makes me doubt the woman that I am God forgive me all that I've been told. So here I am again, I think I've sinned I can't exactly place the how or why I tried to be a sister and a friend I never dreamed she'd give this winged reply.
