Heaven Knows
I saw all sides of man in New Orleans
Sang songs of the old coal mines,
The words we read that night, of the medicine man
gave heed to the changing times
Heard cold winds cry like ghosts of time
All along the Louisiana shore
And I broke your heart in Arkansas
Cause I'm the kind that never learn
Don't pray for me, my angel
Pray to the ocean tide.
Cause we've set our sails for deeper seas
Heaven knows what we will find
Lord give me peace, when we find struggle
Give me speed of the fox that finds the way
Give me light to find forgiveness
We both know I'm bound...
To stray from the east, off to the west
From the north & to the south
Cause I've denied tall tales about my name,
But I never had my doubts
Don't pray for me, my angel
Pray to the ocean tide.
Cause we've set our sails for deeper seas
Heaven knows what we will find
No the Lord won't wait,
He won't contemplate
He won't wait
For me to change my ways
No the Lord won't wait
He won't contemplate
He won't wait
For me to change my ways
...and he don't care,
if I beg from the hilltops
Don't pray for me, my angel
Pray to the ocean tide.
Cause we've set our sails for deeper seas
Heaven knows what we will find
