I shivered and listened

To a cold nights warning

I've never walked closer

To the edge of the dawning

Every step that I take

Could carry me homeward

They used to pray for me

They knew that I was falling

I'll wash away my sorrows

Down by the river

Put my face in the cold wind

Won't you pray

Oh won't you pray for me

I have fallen

Oh won't you pray for me



This violent whispers

Were trying to take me

They knew that I would go

But now they forsake me

I'll wash away my sorrows

Down by the river

Put my face in the cold wind

Won't you pray

Oh won't you pray for me

I have fallen

Oh won't you pray for me
