Burning Bush Lyrics - 16 Horsepower

All the widows watch 

Through all window sills 

Hair raisin' in every room 

Up the street come a walkin' chill 

An' you ask for nothin' 

'Cept to be by my side 

See my tears, good father 

Will they wash it away 

All my dirt from your holy feet 

No, I don't believe it works that way 

'Cause you ask for nothin' 

'Cept to be by my side 

I seen you in the river 

Before God an' man 

Held by the holy hand of winter 

Brought low by winter's holy hand 

Yes, my sister girl 

I know that it is true 

You see me with the Lord's eye, girl 

An' you see right through 

An' you ask for nothin' 

Is there somethin' behind my eyes? 

I can look good, I swear 

When the spirit blows 

All ore an' all through, yeah 

My wretched bones 

An' you ask for nothin' 

'Cept to be by my side love 

I seen you in the river 

Before God an' man 

Held by the holy hand of winter 

Brought low by winter's holy hand
