The Powers That Be Lyrics

The Powers That Be lyrics

It was a time and place 

The way that you held my face 

Until it was black and blue 

When I gave it all to you 



The way that you'd always pace 

Whenever you felt my grace 

It's all coming back to me 



It's all coming back to me 

With all the powers that be 

I'd be dead to you right now 

I'm glad I never held my breath too long 

And I'm glad I knew we'd part before death 

Or death that you'd give me 



"I'll give you clothes and food" 

When you asked me to accompany you 

I'm glad I learned to trust my intuition 

And not trust your selfish attitude 

You can be so rude 



It's all coming back to me 

With all the powers that be 

I'd be dead to you right now 

I'm glad I never held my breath too long 

And I'm glad I knew we'd part before death 

Or death that you'd give me
