rate me

Bless me, Father, I have sinned, I've broken hearts, got drunk on gin<br />

An' still I lust for sweet young things.<br />

On the day that I was born, bells rang out in Babylon<br />

Still I can't tell right from wrong, no matter what the Good Book says.<br />

<br />

Now I can see the sun is shining,<br />

But, I can feel the rain<br />

Falling down to wash my tears away,<br />

Wash my tears away. <br />

<br />

Holy Mother, save your tears, you've cried for me a thousand years<br />

But, I was blind to all your fears.<br />

Now I can't stop the tears from falling down.<br />

Come the dawn of judgement day,<br />

I'll get down on my knees and pray,<br />

St. Peter don't you, don't you send me away.<br />

<br />

Now I can see the sun is shining,<br />

But, I can feel the rain<br />

Falling down to wash my tears away. <br />

<br />

Bless me, Father, I have sinned, I've broken hearts, got drunk on gin<br />

An' still I lust for everything, every little thing<br />

Come the dawn of judgement day, I'll get down on my knees and pray,<br />

The Good Lord don't send me away, I'll never ever go. <br />

<br />

Now I can see the sun is shining,<br />

But, I can feel the rain<br />

Falling down to wash my tears away.<br />

<br />

Wash my tears away, I'll get down on my knees<br />

Don't send me away, don't you send me away, no, no, no.
