Keep Me from Blowing Away

There are times when I trembled

When my mind remembered

The days that just crumbled awayWith nothing to show

But these lines that I know

Are beginning to show in my faceOh Lord, if you're listening

I know, I'm no Christian

And I ain't got much coming to me

So send down some sunshine

And throw out your lifeline

And keep me from blowing awayKeep me from blowing awayWell, I spent my whole lifetime

In a world where the sunshine

Finds excuses for not hangin' 'roundI squandered emotions

On the slightest of notions

And the first easy loving I foundBut soon all of the good times

The gay times and play times

Like colours run together and fade

Oh Lord, if you hear me

Touch me and hold me

And keep me from blowing away
