about

First thing I remember was 

I woke up bawling and there she was

First it was she, then it was me
Todd Burge - Adam of Eve

lyrics

ADAM of EVE

Am Em Dm (E7) F C G 


I came here to set the record straight

But my fear has reduced me to this whisper

I fear my story might disappear 

As my past gets passed down 

And rewritten all around

We Men have owned this story 

Since we men invented man 

Since we have been bending minds 

Since all written history began

And while in my moment of weakest thought

I caught her with her back turned, while she was busy 

Taking care of me, and everything
I’ve ever known or ever heard or ever seen

The story about my rib was quite a fib 

As the truth is, she preceded me 

First thing I remember was 

I woke up bawling and there she was

First it was she, then it was me

And while in my moment of weakest thought 

I Caught her with back turned

While she was busy

And in my deepest green of envy for her

And all her strength and her beauty

I wrote the blurb 
That blurred all history (x2)



Then, I told my story to the stars

I told my story to the sun

But when I told my story to the serpent

This is when it caught on and on and on and on (x2)

She was everything I needed her to be

Everything I needed her to be (x2)
