Holy Water - Janet Devlin

I bathe in holy water

In search of what I’ve done

I had to share my sorrow

And treat it like a son

Now I feel ten stone lighter

With the devil off my back

I’m cursed to never stumble

You cursed to never crack

If I ever run away they know where I’ll be found

No I can never run away, I’m sure they’d hunt me down

But maybe you, maybe you could help to

Wash away my demons and take them from me

Wash away my demons have some mercy, won’t you please?

Wash away my problems and send them to the sea

Wash away my demons and cleanse my inequity

Holy water save me, holy water save me

Holy water save me from myself

Yeah, save me from me

I’m sorry for the bother, I’m sorry for the sins

I’m here before your altar, I pray that it’s the end

And with the voice of reason

And with some help from friends

I hope to one day slumber

I hope to sleep again

If I should ever run away you know where I’ll be found

If I should ever run away you need not hunt me down

But maybe you, maybe you could help to

Wash away my demons and take them from me

Wash away my demons have some mercy, won’t you please?

Wash away my problems and send them to the sea

Wash away my demons and cleanse my inequity

Holy water save me, holy water save me

Holy water save me from myself

Holy water save me, holy water save me

Holy water save me from myself

Yeah, save me from me

I hope to never run away, but if one day I do

Then don’t you dare, don’t you dare come running too
