Past the church and the steeple,
The laundry on the hill,
Billboards and the buildings--
Memories of it still
Keep calling and calling...
But forget it all,
I know I will.

Tempted by the fruit of another,
Tempted but the truth is discovered--
What's been going on,
Now that you have gone.
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another,
Tempted but the truth is discovered...

I'm at the car park, the airport,
The baggage carousel--
The people keep on crowding,
I'm wishing I was well.
I said it's no occasion,
It's no story I could tell.

At my bedside, empty pocket,
A foot without a sock.
Your body gets much closer--
I fumble for the clock,
Alarmed by the seduction.
I wish that it would stop.

Tempted by the fruit of another,
Tempted but the truth is discovered,
What's been going on,
Now that you have gone.
There's no other,
Tempted by the fruit of another,
Tempted but the truth is discovered...

I bought a novel, some perfume,
A fortune all for you,
But it's not my conscience
That hates to be untrue.
I asked of my reflection
Tell me what is there to do.

Tempted by the fruit of another,
Tempted but the truth is discovered,
What's been going on,
Now that you have gone.
There's no other,
Tempted by the fruit of another,
Tempted but the truth is discovered...
