|
All the widows watch |
|
Through all window sills |
|
Hair raisin' in every room |
|
Up the street come a walkin' chill |
|
An' you ask for nothin' |
|
'cept to be by my side |
|
See my tears good father |
|
Will they wash it away |
|
All my dirt from your holy feet |
|
No i don't believe it works that way |
|
'cause you ask for nothin' |
|
'cept to be by my side |
|
I seen you in the river |
|
Before god an' man |
|
Held by the holy hand of winter |
|
Brought low by winter's holy hand |
|
Yes my sister girl |
|
I know that it is true |
|
You see me with the lord's eye girl |
|
An' you see right through |
|
An' you ask for nothin' |
|
Is there somethin' behind my eyes |
|
I can look good i swear |
|
When the spirit blows |
|
All ore an' all through yeah |
|
My wretched bones |
|
An' you ask for nothin' |
|
'cept to be by my side love |
|
I seen you in the river |
|
Before god an' man |
|
Held by the holy hand of winter |
|
Brought low by winter's holy hand |
