John Hiatt - Face Of God lyrics

rate me

Tell me how much more suffering

Before you see the face of God?

Tell me how much more suffering

Before you see the face of God?

Now my eyes are blind from crying

Don’t know how many more tears I’ve got!

They say God is a devil,

Until you look him in the eye.

They say God is a devil,

Until you look him in the eye.

I can barely lift my head up,

And sometimes I don’t even wanna try.

I’m not looking for love, baby

Looking how I’m looking,

Anybody tell me where all love go!?

I know I want something

Before you see the eyes of God

Cause I’m busting down to nothing

And it’s a long down road I’m on.

How does them show up yesterday?

Like a rain come down from the cloud.

I just didn’t showed up yesterday

Like a rain come down from a cloud.

I was.. blood from the enemy

Long before my neighbors got proud.

They ride a big fancy cars,

Then like to cut the grass they sow

They ride a big fancy cars,

Then like to cut the grass they sow

I’m doing cartwheel on the front lawn

I’m still coming to the kitchen door.

Tell me how much more suffering

Before you see the face of God?

Tell me how much more suffering

Before you see the face of God?

Now take my shit, baby

Why don’t you tell me what you got?
