Lyric Absolution Blues

Bless me, Father, I have sinned, I ve 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 can t 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, you ve cried for me a thousand years
But I was blind to all your fears
Now I can t stop the tears from falling down
Come the dawn of judgement day, I ll get down on my knees and pray
St. Peter don t you, don t 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

(Solo)

Bless me, Father, I have sinned, I ve broken hearts, got drunk on gin
An still I lust for everything, every little thing
Come the dawn of judgement day, I ll get down on my knees and pray
The Good Lord don t send me away, I ll 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, I ll get down on my knees
Don t send me away, don t you send me away, no, no, no
