Absolution Blues Lyrics - Singles - 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 Judgment 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 Judgment 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
