Coverdale/Page - Absolution Blues lyrics

Bless me, Father, I have sinned I've broken hearts, got drunk on gin And 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 And 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 Absolution blues Absolution blues Ow, ow, ow Ow, ow, ow
