absolution blues

bless me

father

i have sinned

i've broken hearts

got drunk on gin

and 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

bless me

father

i have sinned

i've broken hearts

got drunk on gin

and 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
