Why me Lord what have I ever done
To deserve even one of the pleasures I've known Lord, what did I ever do That was worth lovin' You or the kindness You've shown Lord help me, Jesus, I've wasted it so Help me Jesus I know what I am But now that I know that I've needed You so Help me, Jesus, my soul's in Your hand Try me, Lord, if You think there's a way I can try to repay all I've taken from You Maybe Lord, I can show someone else What I go through myself, on my way back to You Lord help me, Jesus, I've wasted it so Help me Jesus, I know what I am But now that I know that I've needed You so Help me, Jesus, my soul's in Your hand Jesus, my soul's in your hand |

As so with that, I thought I'd take a final walk
The tide of public opinion had started to abate The neighbours, bless them, had turned out to be all talk I could see their frightened faces peering at me through the gate I was looking for an end to this, for some kind of closure Time moved so rapidly, I had no hope of keeping track of it I thought of my friends who had died of exposure And I remembered other ones who had died from the lack of it And in my best shoes I started falling forward down the street I stopped at a church and jostled through the crowd And love followed just behind me, panting at my feet As the steeple tore the stomach from a lonely little cloud Inside I sat, seeking the presence of a God I searched through the pictures in a leather-bound book I found a woolly lamb dozing in an issue of blood And a gilled Jesus shivering on a fisherman's hook Babe It seems so long Since you've been gone away And I Just got to say That it grows darker with the day Back on the street I saw a great big smiling sun It was a Good day and an Evil day and all was bright and new And it seemed to me that most destruction was being done By those who could not choose between the two Amateurs, dilettantes, hacks, cowboys, clones The streets groan with little Caesars, Napoleons and cunts With their building blocks and their tiny plastic phones Counting on their fingers, with crumbs down their fronts I passed by your garden, saw you with your flowers The Magnolias, Camellias and Azaleas so sweet And I stood there invisible in the panicking crowds You looked so beautiful in the rising heat I smell smoke, see little fires bursting on the lawns People carry on regardless, listening to their hands Great cracks appear in the pavement, the earth yawns Bored and disgusted, to do us down Babe It seems so long Since you've been gone And I Just got to say That it grows darker with the day These streets are frozen now. I come and go Full of a longing for something I do not know My father sits slumped in the deepening snow As I search, in and out, above, about, below Babe It seems so long Since you went away And I Just got to Say That it grows darker with the day |

Once I stood in the night
With my head bowed low In the darkness as black as could be And my heart felt alone and I cried oh Lord Don't hide your face from me Like a king I may live in a palace so tall With great riches to call my own But I don't know a thing In this whole wide world That's worse than being alone Hold my hand all the way, every hour every day Come here to the great unknown Take my hand, let me stand Where no one stands alone Take my hand, let me stand Where no one stands alone |

I know youre hurting
You think this aint working Youre down on your knees Begging me, please, But it wont go away I hear you crying I know youve been trying To leave it behind But its tearing your mind And it leads you astray Stay out of harms way Stay out of harms way Oh how I pray I pray that youll stay Stay out of harms way You know its over Its time to recover Bind up your scars Open your heart Face a new day Stay out of harms way Stay out of harms way Oh how I pray I pray that youll stay Stay out of harms way You got to give a little bit Take a little bit Break a little bit Make up your mind You got to stand a little bit Bend a little bit Mend a little bit Hold your head high Hold your head high Stay out of harms way Stay out of harms way Oh how I pray I pray that youll stay Stay out of harms way |

By the rivers dark
I wandered on. I lived my life in Babylon. And I did forget My holy song: And I had no strength In Babylon. By the rivers dark Where I could not see Who was waiting there Who was hunting me. And he cut my lip And he cut my heart. So I could not drink From the river dark. And he covered me, And I saw within, My lawless heart And my wedding ring, I did not know And I could not see Who was waiting there, Who was hunting me. By the rivers dark I panicked on. I belonged at last to Babylon. Then he struck my heart With a deadly force, And he said, ?This heart: It is not yours.? And he gave the wind My wedding ring; And he circled us With everything. By the rivers dark, In a wounded dawn, I live my life In Babylon. Though I take my song From a withered limb, Both song and tree, They sing for him. Be the truth unsaid And the blessing gone, If I forget My Babylon. I did not know And I could not see Who was waiting there, Who was hunting me. By the rivers dark, Where it all goes on; By the rivers dark In Babylon. |

Shadows are falling and I been here all day
It's too hot to sleep and time is running away Feel like my soul has turned into steel I've still got the scars that the sun didn'tW heal There's not even room enough to be anywhere It's not dark yet, but it's getting there Well my sense of humanity is going down the drain Behind every beautiful thing, there's been some kind of pain She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind She put down in writin' what was in her mind I just don't see why I should even care It's not dark yet, but it's getting there Well I been to London and I been to gay Paris I followed the river and I got to the sea I've been down to the bottom of a whirlpool of lies I ain't lookin' for nothin' in anyone's eyes Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear It's not dark yet, but it's getting there I was born here and I'll die here, against my will I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer It's not dark yet, but it's getting there |
