Little Feat - Brides Of Jesus Lyrics
Bill Payne, Lowell GeorgeMatthew stood by the wall and watched his love belowHer pale hair came in golden rings down below her shouldersAs she waved and slowly turned aroundTo find the path that led her to the ancient gate was closedShe said Matthew why won't you tell me what it is you seeYour smile so wide this figured grinYou look as if, you look as if you're looking right through meWhy won't you tell me how it is you seeThrough the darness all around meNo amulets or chains will work to keep the demons fromOr hide the night filled eyes from the brides of JesusThe brides of JesusThe brides of JesusKeep them over meKeep them over me, can't you seeOn tender-hooks and to be pleasure bentHis voice it scratched the airMay bring you so much sorrowThat you may be entertaining angels unawares
