Patty Griffin - Forgiveness Lyrics

Send "Forgiveness" ringtone to your cell

We are swimming with the snakes at the bottom of the well

So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell

But we are not snakes and what's more we never will be

And if we stay swimming here forever we will never be free

I heard them ringing the bells in heaven and hell

They got a secret they're getting ready to tell

It's falling from the skies

It's calling from the graves

Open your eyes boy, I think we are saved

Open your eyes boy, I think we are saved

Let's take a walk on the bridge right over this mess

Don't need to tell me a thing baby, we already confessed

And I raised my voice to the air

And we were blessed

It's hard to give

It's hard to get

But everybody needs a little forgiveness

We are calling for help tonight on a thin phone line

As usual we're having ourselves one hell of a time

And the planes keep flying over our heads

No matter how loud we shout

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey

And we keep wavin and wavin our arms in the air but we're all tired out

I heard somebody say today's the day

Big old hurricane she's blowing our way

Knockin over the buildings

Killing all the lights

Open your eyes boy, we made it through the night

Open your eyes boy, we made it though the night

Let's take a walk on the bridge right over this mess

Don't need to tell me a thing baby, we already confessed

And I raise my voice to the air

And we were blessed

It's hard to give

It's hard to get

It's hard to give

But still I think it's the best bet

Hard to give

Never gonna forget

But everybody needs a little forgiveness

Everybody needs a little forgiveness
