Songtext von Sweet Hereafter

Oh, when I left my mamas home Left her for death when I left her all alone And the whores they won't let me be at night They can't replace the warmth I need tonight 'Cause I'm cold, cold as hell And the Lord, he don't wait for me at night He knows what I've done is wrong and it ain't right And the devil awaits for me with open arms And he sways me with his wiles and with his charms Because I'm holding on, when there's nothing left to hold onto Hold on to the sweet hereafter The fountain from where I drank from as a child When I was young I was bored and I was wild Since then I have grown into a man And I know that I can always stand But I'm wrong, I'm still a child Hold on to the sweet hereafter Hold on to the sweet hereafter
