Beth Hart - St. Teresa lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

St. Teresa, I heard you're coming to town

Your little foot steps made the sweetest sound

You've come to put me down, come to put me down

Down down down

(Chorus)

Mother, is it ok if I call you ma?

Owen walked away and broke the law

Standin' on the bridge, feeling like falling

Would you pray for me, mommy

(Verse 2)

St. Teresa, have mercy on my soul

The good must die young

That's why I'm getting so old

Then come to put me down, come to put me down

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

I was never good at confession

Never really that good and I spanned it all

Cause they don't want me hanging around the mission

Singing hallelujah, singing hallelujah-jah-jah

St. Theresa, could I kiss your skin?

Come a little closer to this hell I'm living in

And when they put me down, when they put me down

(Chorus)
