Bless me, Father, I have sinned, I´ve broken hearts, got drunk on gin An´ still I lust for sweet young things. On the day that I was born, bells rang out in Babylon Still I can´t tell right from wrong, no matter what the Good Book says.
Now I can see the sun is shining, But, I can feel the rain Falling down to wash my tears away, Wash my tears away.
Holy Mother, save your tears, you´ve cried for me a thousand years But, I was blind to all your fears. Now I can´t stop the tears from falling down. Come the dawn of judgement day, I´ll get down on my knees and pray, St. Peter don´t you, don´t you send me away.
Now I can see the sun is shining, But, I can feel the rain Falling down to wash my tears away.

Bless me, Father, I have sinned, I´ve broken hearts, got drunk on gin An´ still I lust for everything, every little thing Come the dawn of judgement day, I´ll get down on my knees and pray, The Good Lord don´t send me away, I´ll never ever go.
Now I can see the sun is shining, But, I can feel the rain Falling down to wash my tears away.
Wash my tears away, I´ll get down on my knees Don´t send me away, don´t you send me away, no, no, no.
