I saw Adam leave the garden with an apple in his hand
I said, "Now you're out, what are you going to do?"
"Plant my crops and pray for rain, maybe raise a little Cain
I'm an orphan now and I'm only passing through."
Thank-you,Matt. Happy Valentine's Day. Have you heard Leonard Cohen's recent song? "sHOW ME THE WAY", i THINK.
