16 Horsepower: "Burning Bush" Lyrics

All the widows watch

Through all window sills

Hair raisin in every room

Up the street come a walkin chill

An you ask for nothin

cept to be by my side



See my tears good father

Will they wash it away

All my dirt from your holy feet

No I dont believe it works that way

cause you ask for nothin

cept to be by my side



I seen you in the river

Before God an man

Held by the holy hand of winter

Brought low by winters holy hand



Yes my sister girl

I know that it is true

You see me with the lords eye girl

An you see right through

An you ask for nothin

Is there somethin behind my eyes



I can look good I swear

When the spirit blows

All ore an all through yeah

My wretched bones

An you ask for nothin

cept to be by my side love



I seen you in the river

Before God an man

Held by the holy hand of winter

Brought low by winters holy hand
