Forgiveness Lyrics - Living With Ghosts - Patty Griffin

We are swimming with the snakes at the bottom of the well 

So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell 

But we are not snakes and what's more, we never will be 

And if we stay swimming here forever we will never be free 

I heard them ringing the bells in heaven and hell 

They got a secret they're getting ready to tell 

It's falling from the skies, it's calling from the graves 

Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved 

Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved

Let's take a walk on the bridge right over this mess 

Don't need to tell me a thing, baby, we've already confessed 

And I raised my voice to the air, and we were blessed 

It's hard to give, it's hard to get 

But everybody needs a little forgiveness 

We are calling for help tonight on this thin phone line 

As usual we're having ourselves one hell of a time 

And the planes keep flying right over our heads no matter how lond we shout 

"Hey, hey, hey!" 

And we keep waving and waving our arms in the air but we're all tired out 

I heard somebody say today's the day 

Big old hurricane, she's blowing our way 

Knocking over the buildings, killing all the lights 

Open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night 

Open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night 

Let's take a walk on the bridge right over this mess 

Don't need to tell me a thing, baby, we've already confessed 

And I raised my voice to the air, and we were blessed 

It's hard to givem it's hard to get 

It's hard to live, baby, but still I think it's the best bet 

Hard to give, I'm never gonna forget 

But everybody needs a little forgiveness 

Everybody needs a little forgiveness
