Matthew's Daughter
Lyrics
I don't know if there's a God up in heaven
But I met an angel today
Though her wings might be hidden 'cause I don't see no feathers
She's made of light and of grace
And so she took my hand and she lead me down
As we sat by the water's edge
And I said, "Matthew's daughter
Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I've made mistakes
So bathe me in water
Come and dive in the river, you can start again"
No, I don't see no halo
But I know that it's there
Resting one inch over her auburn hair
And I told her my secrets
The darkest I have
And I swear that she sees me for all that I am
And I said, "Matthew's daughter
Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I've made mistakes
So bathe me in water
Come and dive in the river, we can start again"
And then she took my hand, said, "My love, don't you worry
It only means there's a heart in your chest
Oh, so follow me love and come away with me
To where the sun rises in the west"
Then I said, "Matthew's daughter
Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I've made mistakes
So bathe me in water
Come and dive in the river, you can start again"
And I said, "Matthew's daughter
Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I've made mistakes
So bathe me in water"
And she said to me, "Darling, lemme ease your pain
Come and dive in the water, you can start again"
