The Two To One Question

I never did know

How far from the altar

I never did fathom

That old helter-skelter


I asked you once

I asked you twice

I offered you heaven

For a roll of the dice


You said no once

You said no twice

You didn’t believe in me

Or in Jesus Christ


I never did know

How far from the altar

I never did fathom

That old helter-skelter


I walked away once

I walked away twice

I was fearful of leaving

I was fearful of life


You stayed behind once

You stayed behind twice

You couldn’t conceive of me

Or of being my wife


I never did know

How far from the altar

I never did fathom

That old helter-skelter
