Testo di Absolution Blues

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 judgement 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 judgement 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.
