Lyrics Holy Water - Ben Kweller

Holy Water

Please take away my pain and fear
Please take away my pain and fear
Try to sleep but the flame keeps burnin' hotter
Take me to the holy water
The dirt below my feet sayin' my name
The dirt below my feet yellin' my name
I’ll try to prepare myself for this next chapter
Take me to the holy water
When they tied you down and tell you to stay awhile
When they tied you down and tell you to stay awhile
It’s like bein' betrayed by the devil’s dearest daughter
Take me to the holy water
And they farm the land so organized and bleak
Not recognizin' when the great spirit’s creatures' speak
No more time
There’s far too much red blood in the river
Take me to the holy water
Please take away my pain and fear
Please take away my pain and fear
Callin' out for any honest helper
Take me to the holy water
