Gethsemane |
| Now we went up to the garden |
| Beneath the olive tree |
| The bells were ringing |
| The rooster crows |
| The men were standing all around |
| Other men are laying on the ground |
| And I am standing by myself |
| I just let them sleep awhile |
| I just let them sleep awhile |
| You know you wake up one morning |
| And you’re someone else |
| You’re on your own |
| There is no miracle to take you home |
| And you cry to the God who leaves you there |
| To the branch and the bird and the empty air |
| To the God of why can’t we turn back around |
| You say I’ve been true to you |
| Let me sing awhile |
| Let me sleep here |
| Don’t make me beg |
| Let me sleep |
| When I call your name |
| Here |
| You turn, your turn, your turn away |
| Let me sleep here |
| All I want is your hand |
| Let me sleep |
| I’ve been true, I’ve been true |
| All I want is your hand |
| Why are you sleeping, oh my friends |
