The Devil's Road

A spirit came to haunt me through a sleepless night
To show me all the dreams that never made it through to light
and thoughts of old acquaintance were howling through my mind
Like the memories of a girl I should never have left behind
If you can't save my body, Lord, please don t let my spirit go
I know that I'm dying, Lord, but please don't let me die alone

Send me down an angel, the Devil wants my soul
And I may have been a sinner but I've payed all that I owed
Never got to praying the way that you have shown
And I spent my days the only way I've Known
On the Devil's Road

Now I'm tearing up photographs, ripping op the past
Hiding from a memory that has found me at last
I'm burying secrets, covering lies
running from a nightmare burning through my eyes
If you can't save my body, Lord, please don't let my spirit go
I know that I'm dying Lord, but please don't let me die alone

Send me down an angel, the Devil wants my soul
And I may have been a sinner but I've payed all that I owed
Never got to praying the way that you have shown
And I spent my days the only way I've Known
On the Devil's Road

Now I'll cry for all the days that I let slip into the night
And the nights that I watched wither till they'd fallen from my sight
For all the things I wish I'd done and all I've never seen
I spent forty years of wasting time now time has wasted me
And if you can't save my body, Lord, please don't let my spirit go
I know that I'm dying Lord, but please don't let me die alone

Send me down an angel, the Devil wants my soul
And I may have been a sinner but I've payed all that I owed
Never got to praying the way that you have shown
And I spent my days the only way I've Known
On the Devil's Road
