Brides Of Jesus Lyrics

Bill Payne, Lowell George



Matthew stood by the wall and watched his love below 

Her pale hair came in golden rings down below her shoulders 

As she waved and slowly turned around 

To find the path that led her to the ancient gate was closed 



She said Matthew why won't you tell me what it is you see 

Your smile so wide this figured grin 

You look as if, you look as if you're looking right through me 

Why won't you tell me how it is you see 

Through the darness all around me 



No amulets or chains will work to keep the demons from 

Or hide the night filled eyes from the brides of Jesus 

The brides of Jesus 

The brides of Jesus 

Keep them over me 



Keep them over me, can't you see 

On tender-hooks and to be pleasure bent 

His voice it scratched the air 

May bring you so much sorrow 

That you may be entertaining angels unawares
