Absolution Blues — текст песни (David Coverdale)

(coverdale/page)



Bless me, father, I have sinned, Ive broken hearts, got drunk on gin

An still I lust for sweet young things.

On the day that I was born, bells rang out in babylon

Still 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 rain

Falling down to wash my tears away,

Wash my tears away.



Holy mother, save your tears, youve cried for me a thousand years

But, 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 rain

Falling down to wash my tears away.



Bless me, father, I have sinned, Ive broken hearts, got drunk on gin

An still I lust for everything, every little thing

Come 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 rain

Falling down to wash my tears away.



Wash my tears away, Ill get down on my knees

Dont send me away, dont you send me away, no, no, no.
