16 Horsepower - Burning Bush lyrics

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 look 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
