David Coverdale - Absolution Blues Lyrics
(coverdale/page)Bless me, father, I have sinned, Ive broken hearts, got drunk on ginAn still I lust for sweet young things.On the day that I was born, bells rang out in babylonStill I cant tell right from wrong, no matter what the good book says.Now I can see the sun is shining,But, I can feel the rainFalling down to wash my tears away,Wash my tears away.Holy mother, save your tears, youve cried for me a thousand yearsBut, I was blind to all your fears.Now I cant stop the tears from falling down.Come the dawn of judgement day,Ill get down on my knees and pray,St. peter dont you, dont you send me away.Now I can see the sun is shining,But, I can feel the rainFalling down to wash my tears away.Bless me, father, I have sinned, Ive broken hearts, got drunk on ginAn still I lust for everything, every little thingCome the dawn of judgement day, Ill get down on my knees and pray,The good lord dont send me away, Ill never ever go.Now I can see the sun is shining,But, I can feel the rainFalling down to wash my tears away.Wash my tears away, Ill get down on my kneesDont send me away, dont you send me away, no, no, no.
