Demons Down

Mountain of forgiveness
As big as the earth
You give me sweet soul loving
I don't even deserve
I'm crazy about you
And I'm trying to get to paradise mile
I know that I could do better
I guess it's time I put my demons down
From the Canadian border
Straight down to the Gulf
I'll follow you darling
When the going gets tough
There ain't no place
That I could hide from your love
Was it the gin that got me poisoned
When I was trying to put some demons down
I've cried out for mercy
I've gambled my life
For the kiss of your heart
I'd do it all again twice
I can't pretend
That I'm the least amount surprised
I'm in the garden of repentance
And I'm still trying to put the demons down
I don't expect you to forget
The times I couldn't get along
The ways I might have bruised you
When the madness done you wrong
I'm tormented by a haunt
Like a radio that won't turn off
I've been persuaded by your pardon
And now I've got to put my demons down
Your rare and potent beauty
Is better than the rest
You could make an artist ditch the paintbox
And the poet trash his pen
I'll walk with you my darling
Through any type of hard luck town
And I must thank you for your patience
As I'm putting all these demons down
Yes I know that time's a wasting
And I'm just trying to put my demons down
