Earth BluesWell, I see hands, and I see tear-stained facesReaching up but not quite touching the promised land Well, I taste tears and the precious years wasted Saying Lord, please, send us a helping hand (Lord, Lord, Lord) On the mountain stands a woman (Lord, Lord, Lord) Hey, I feel her shining light (Lord, Lord, Lord) Lord, must be the answer (Lord, Lord, Lord) Thank you, Lord, and keep her alright Got them earth blues today I hear the thunder of freedom's beating heart Sirens clashing with black earth and rocking stone I think you better love me now, darling, it just might be too late after a while And tell our child to bury old daddy's broken clothes (Lord, Lord, Lord) Hey, I see a beautiful woman (Lord, Lord, Lord) Yes, and I feel her shining light on me (Lord, Lord, Lord) Lord! Must be the answer (Lord, Lord, Lord) Help me, Lord, and keep her alright for me (Help me, darling) Help me, darling (Help me, darling) To keep the light (Help me, darling) Everything alright (Help me, darling) Keep shining bright (Help me, darling) Help me darling (Help me, darling) Help me darling (Help me, darling) Ooh! (Help me, darling) Got those earth blues today (Lord, Lord, Lord) Ooh! (Lord, Lord, Lord) Yeah but, uh, sometimes my imagination grabs me by surprise A queen of ebony in chains I visualize And back on the moon, I see her portrait in a tomb And these words are written, first woman from God's womb (Lord, Lord, Lord) Hey! Stands a woman (Lord, Lord, Lord) And I feel her shining light (Lord, Lord, Lord) Lord, must be the answer (Lord, Lord, Lord) Thank you, Lord, and keep her alright Yeah! I think I'll be alright with my baby now Shake these earth blues away from me, baby |
