Pilate's Wife

I woke this morning in a fright
What was this dream I had all night
This house has echoed halls
Recite to me it all
Over and over, time and time again
And I'm left with what to do

Said I don't ask for much, but this I ask of you
I don't know who he is, but I know what I feel
Let him go, can't you see
What is this dream
Pontius, please, let him be
I ask of you don't patronize
Something about this isn't right

A whisper in the morning wind
Just pierced my heart once again
And I've never even seen this just man's face
Something here's a myth
I'm not sure what it is, but wash your hands of this
I don't know who he is, but I know what I feel
Let him go, can't you see
What is this dream
Pontius, please, let him be

A woman in all her glory
Has no place in this man's story
With a king a bag a-bombs
Doesn't matter its all wrong
Please hear me
I don't know who he is, but I know what I feel
Let him go, can't you see
What is this dream
Pontius, please, let him be
