To Bring You My Love

Long goes the night
Longer the day
Teclo your death
Will send me to my grave

I learned to beg
I learned to pray
Send me his love
Send him to me again
Let me ride
Let me ride
Let me ride on his grace for awhile
Let me ride
Let me ride
Just let me ride on his grace for awhile

Long goes the night
Longer the days
Teclo your death
Will send me to my grave
Let me ride
Let me ride
Just let me ride on his grace for awhile
Let me ride
Let me ride
Just let me ride on your grace for awhile
Just let me ride

I lost my heart under the bridge
That little girl
So much to me
And now i moan, and now i holler
She'll never know just what i found
That blue-eyed girl she said no more
And that blue-eyed girl became blue -eyed whore
Down by the water i took her hand
Just like my daughter
See her again

Oh, help me jesus come through this storm
I had to lose her to do her harm
I heard her holler, i heard her moan
My lovely daughter
I took her home

Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water
Come back here, man, give me my daughter
Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water
Come back here, man, give me my daughter

he came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name
He came bathed in light and the splendor and glory
I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me

He said dance for me, fanciulla gentil
He said laugh a while, i can make your heart feel
He said fly with me, touch the face of the true god
And then cry with joy at the depth of my love

Cause i've prayed days, i've prayed nights
For the lord just to send me home some sign
I've looked long, i've looked far
To bring peace to my black and empty heart

My love will stay till the river bed run dry
And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky
I love him longer as each damn day goes
The man is gone and heaven only knows

Cause i've cried days. i've cried nights
For the lord just to send me up some sign
Is he near? is he far?
Bring peace to my black and empty heart

So long day. so long night
Good lord, be near me tonight
Is he near? is he far?
Bring peace to my black and empty heart

In the night i look for love
Endless strength from the man above
God of piston, god of steel
God is here behind the wheel
I'm just working for the man
For love

Pretty things get in my car
Take them flying, it's not far
Take in handsome, take in me
Look good in my steel machine
I'm just working for the man

Don't you know yet who i am
Working harder for the man
Go around and doing good
Get my strength from the man above
I'm just working for the man
I'm just doing what i can
Go around i'm doing good
Go around i'm doing good
Go around i'm doing good
Go around i'm doing good
Go around i'm doing good
Go around i'm doing good

Um-hmmm
Dunk you under deep salt water
Bring me lover
All your power
I'll be no hell
Out of your spell
Over under die of pleasure
Hear my dreaming
You'll be drowning
Hell's no god above
All drunk on my love
You ought to hear my long snake moan
You ought to see me from my throne

Dunk you under deep salt water
In my dreaming
You'll be drowning
Raise me up lord
Call me lazarus
Hey lord help me
Make me my fail
You ought to hear my long snake moan
You ought to see me from my throne
It's my voodoo working
It's my voodoo working
