Burning Bush - 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 sideSee my tears, good father
Will they wash it away
All my dirt from your holy feet
No, I don't believe it works that way
'Cause you ask for nothin'
'Cept to be by my sideI seen you in the river
Before God an' man
Held by the holy hand of winter
Brought low by winter's holy handYes, my sister girl
I know that it is true
You see me with the Lord's 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 loveI seen you in the river
Before God an' man
Held by the holy hand of winter
Brought low by winter's holy hand
