gospel trail

Singer:chris rea

you got lovers

hiding at night

there's a certain kind of fear in her eyes

cos the preacher say what she doing ain't right

he see his bread of life

quickly turning stale

all along

this gospel trail

i got my brother and my best friend

choking on your book of lies

i saw you kill the truth with your eyes

made everybody look like a fool

i saw the good lord's words

written on a bomb of nails

all along

all along

this gospel trail

i see blood run like a river

cos of all your mistakes

your song of compassion

turned out to be just a fake

so now the innocent on both sides

they're gonna scream and wail

all along

oh all along

along

this gospel trail
