Bless mefatherI have sinnedI've broken heartsgot drunk on gin

An' still I lust for sweet young things.

On the day that I was bornbells rang out in babylon

Still I can't tell right from wrongno matter what the good book says.



Now I can see the sun is shining

ButI can feel the rain

Falling down to wash my tears away

Wash my tears away.



Holy mothersave your tearsyou've cried for me a thousand years

ButI was blind to all your fears.

Now I can't stop the tears from falling down.

Come the dawn of judgement day

I'll get down on my knees and pray

St. peter don't youdon't you send me away.



Now I can see the sun is shining

ButI can feel the rain

Falling down to wash my tears away.



Bless mefatherI have sinnedI've broken heartsgot drunk on gin

An' still I lust for everythingevery little thing

Come the dawn of judgement dayI'll get down on my knees and pray

The good lord don't send me awayI'll never ever go.



Now I can see the sun is shining

ButI can feel the rain

Falling down to wash my tears away.



Wash my tears awayI'll get down on my knees

Don't send me awaydon't you send me awaynonono.
