Jacob and 2 Women

Jacob and 2 Women - Rich Mullins

Written by：Rich Mullins

Jacob he loved betraid you and Rachel she loved him

And leah was just there for dramatic effect

Well it's right there in the bible

So it must not be a sin

But it sure does seem like an awful dirty trick

And her sky is just a petal

Pressed in a book of a memory

Of the time he thought he loved her

And they kissed

And her friends say ah he's a devil

But she says no he is a dream

This is the world

As best as I can remember it

Now jacob got two women

And a whole house full of kids

And he schemed his way

Back to the promised land

And he finds it's one thing to win 'em

And it's another to keep 'em content

When he knows that he is only just one man

And his sky's an empty bottle

And when he's drunk the ocean dry

Well he sails off three sheets

To some reckless wind

And his friends say ain't it awful

And he says no I think it's fine

And this is the world

As best as I can remember it

Now rachel's weeping for the children

That she thought she could not bear

And she bears a sorrow that she cannot hide

And she wishes she was with them

She looks and they're not there

Seems that love comes for just a moment

And then it passes on by

And her sky is just a bandit

Swinging at the end of a hangman's noose

'Cause he stole the moon

And must be made to pay for it

And her friends say my that's tragic

She says especially for the moon

And this is the world

As best as I can remember it

And this is the world

As best as I can remember it
