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 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
