St. James' bed |
| I hear way down in New Orleans |
| They heal suffering |
| Take away disease |
| It will all evaporate from your soul |
| I haven't seen it |
| But I've been told |
| Put all that sorrow in a tune |
| Hum it softly |
| And call it blue |
| Clap your hands and raise your head |
| Bring your spirit down |
| To St. James' Bed |
| Oh my sweet friend |
| We're all going |
| Down to the river's end |
| And wash our dirty hands clean |
| In the songs of our lonely |
| Ghosts' release |
| All those street lights that burn so bright |
| Will watch over us |
| And keep us through the night |
| And place your heart over hand |
| It's our gospel |
| And you're my hymn |
| Going to feel that fire |
| Going to feel that fire inside |
| Let it burn us up |
| Burn us white |
| Oh my sweet friend |
| Ain't you coming |
| Down to the river's end |
| And wash ourselves so clean |
| In the memories we find |
| In those streets |
| Oh my sweet friend |
| Ain't you coming |
| Down to the river's end |
