Absolution Blues lyrics

(coverdale/page)

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.

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.
