After Moses fled Egypt as a fugitive and murderer, and before he returned as a terrorist and revolutionary, he spent years of his life in Midian, where he met his wife, Zipporah. This song is dedicated to her.
lyrics
When we met, you were a clueless kid, you had a stupid haircut,
you were soft around the edges, but you were bold,
and your kisses stirred desire. When you taught me how to make love,
my cheeks were hot with bright blood.
But the way you searched my body
had a longing, an intensity
that wasn't meant for me.
When we met, you were on the run, hiding from the rule books.
You needed an accomplice, and I was there
to dress the wounds of shame, to keep you safe from judgement.
I couldn't keep you safe from justice.
My healing hands were doomed to fail,
'cause in your heart's a sword and scale.
It wasn't meant for me.
When you left to scale the rocky peak, to meet the God of Abram,
to learn the fate of our friends... You returned,
your mind was full of rules, your hair was white and flowing,
your face was grim and glowing.
A law was written on your heart
while I was trying to play the part
that wasn't meant for me.
