For 7 years I crossed the desert, bleedin like some wounded dog
And if tonight I make it to the ocean, gonna cry upon the shore.
For 12 years I walked in darkness, flounderin around the fickle fog
And if tonight I make it to your garden, sink my head inside the soil
Cuz I’ve been thinking bout heaven - wonderin if there’s a place for me
And if you see my sweet love tell her, set my soul free
Two autumns ago I met her, and she gave me her song
Threw my heart into the fire so that I could burn alone
Every night I laid with the temptress and I loved her dusk to dawn
But when I asked her for her love she said, “its already gone.”
Cuz I’ve been dancing with the devil and he’s got his eye on me
And if you see my sweet love tell her, set my soul free
Let the sunshine
I walked thru the weepin willows waving on their weary wands
I drank with the serpent til I forgot about my love
Cuz I’ve been prayin to the angels, wont you watch over me
And if you see my sweet love, tell her set my soul free
