Here's To The Halcyon Lyrics


get me through this Lord and I'll do anything you say
Live right read a good book I'll settle down and prey
When Gabriel blows his horn I know things might not go my way
Get me through this Lord and Ill do anything you sayPluck me from this driftwood Lord Ill be a better man
Raise me from the deep sea in the palm of your great hand
Let me see tomorrow and Ill try to understand
How the sinking of my little vessel fits into your planHeres to the Halcyon, forever may she rest
At the bottom of the ocean, for the good Lord knows best
You made her from lumber and you gave her to the sea
Now good Lord what do you propose to do with me?Get me through this Lord and Ill devote my life to you
Things look pretty bleak right now but I know youll come through
Ive squandered my good fortune and my other fortune too
Get me through this Lord and Ill devote my life to youI cannot change my past mistakes
Ive led a life devoid of virtue
Either way the man I am
Is dead and gone although I know the past
Can come around and hurt youGet me through this lord and I will never drink again
Ill pore over my Bible and Ill pour out all my gin

Ill prove to you a sinning man can turn his back on sin
Give me some fresh water Lord Ill never drink againHeres to the Halcyon, forever may she rest
At the bottom of the ocean, for the good Lord knows best
You made her from lumber and you gave her to the sea
Now good Lord what do you propose to do with me?Heres to the Halcyon, forever may she rest
At the bottom of the ocean, for the good Lord knows best
You made her from lumber and you gave her to the sea
Now good Lord what do you propose to do with me?
Good Lord what do you propose to do with me?
