Burton Cummings - I'm Scared (Demo Version) lyrics

I'm just shaken, I'm petrified Never been much on religion But I sure enough would like to hear you call Heard the choir singin' Something about goodwill toward men And even sleepin' in heavenly peace Stopped by to see Saint Thomas On a cold and dreary New York afternoon Something in the air was, oh, so rare I don't know what it was But I know for sure that it's still right there And I'm scared Hey, I'm terrified Never been much on religion But I sure enough would like to hear you call Oh, and I'm scared Lordy Lord Can't you hear me shaken? I'm petrified Never been much on religion But I sure enough would like to hear you call C'mon now, give me a sign your listening now I'm scared, you know I'm shakin' I'm layin' awake thinking about it, I'm terrified Never been much on religion But I sure enough wait for you to call I can't think about it no more You hear me talkin', you hear my cryin' I'm staying awake wonderin', I'm terrified Never been much on religion But I sure enough would like to hear you call
