I saw her bathing on the roof
And my heart starts its beat
And I knew that I desired
For another man’s things
But I called her to my castle
‘Cause her man was off at war
And I brought her to my bedroom
And then I shut the door
And when a few months later
She called me with the news
I had nearly forgotten
That woman on the roof
I called her husband home from war
But he would not see his wife
So then and there I started scheming
How I’d take his life
So I sent him to the front lines
And I pulled back the troops
That’s how I became a killer
For that woman on the roof
She became my wife
She gave us a son
When the prophet came to see me
About the sin I’d done
A sinner against God
I knew that he was right
And the sins of the father
Took my own son’s life
So the man after his heart
Has a heart like a grave
But a promise of a kingdom
Of a throne, of a name
He bought my broken heart
Back from the tomb
And he sent another son
From that woman on the roof
Yes, another son would come
From that woman on the roof
The story does not end here/ God’s stories rarely do
For another son would come/ From that woman on the roof
