Absolution Blues Lyrics

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 rainCoverdale And Page - Absolution Blues - http://motolyrics.com/coverdale-and-page/absolution-blues-lyrics.html

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
