Burning Bush

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 look 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
