David Coverdale & Jimmy Page - Absolution Blues Songtexte

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.

(Solo)

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.
