Bless my soul

Bless My Soul

I know why the blackbird sings
his strange and mournful song on a summer’s night
’n’ I know why the spirit brings
us back into this world until we get it right
’n’ I’m on a roll
and I begin to see the light
bless my soul

I’ve been around so many times
I know why the baby cries
its way into the arms of a mother’s love
I know why true love survives
’n’ yet it’s more than the red hot fire of another’s touch
I’m on a roll
’n’ I’m not afraid to fight

bless my soul
on a long hot summer’s night
’n’ I see fair to warn you
that there’s nothing here to stop me
from drowning in the darkness
of the things I can’t control
and the angel near my heaven
that I know will always haunt me
is constant and convincing
I’ve a long, long, ways to go.

I know why the day is long
when there’s no one to talk to about my dreams
’n’ I know when the evening comes
that i will know the song of desire that the blackbird sings

I’m on a roll
’n’ I’m not afraid to fight
bless my soul
I’ve been around so many times

Thanks for this to Cindy
