David Coverdale Absolution Blues Lyrics

Absolution Blues Lyrics

(Coverdale/Page)

Bless me, Father, I have sinned, I`ve broken hearts, got drunk on gin
An` 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
An` 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.
