Patty Griffin - Forgiveness текст песни

We are swimming with the snakes

At the bottom of the well

So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell

But we are not snakes and whats more

We never will be

And if we stay swimming here forever we will

Never be free

I heard them ringing the bells

In heaven and hell

They got a secret

Theyre getting ready to tell

Its falling from the sky

Calling from the graves

Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved

Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved

Lets take a walk on the bridge

Right over this mess

Dont need to tell me a thing, baby

Weve already confessed

And I raised my voice to the air

And we were blessed

Everybody needs a little forgiveness

Everybody needs a little forgiveness

We are calling for him tonight on this

Thin phone line

As usual were having ourselves one

Hell of a time

And the planes keep flying right over our heads

No matter how lond we shout

"hey, hey, hey !"

And we keep waving and waving

Our arms in the air

But were all tired out

I heard somebody say

Todays the day

A big old hurricaine

Is blowing our way

Knocking over the buildings

Killing all the light

Open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night

Open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night

Lets take a walk on the bridge

Right over this mess

Dont need to tell me a thing, baby

Weve already confessed

And I raised my voice to the air

And we were blessed

Everybody needs a little forgiveness

Everybody needs a little forgiveness
