Marionette

Well I know my sins and sorrow
(I know my sins and sorrow)
But I will tend my wounds tomorrow
(I'll tend my wounds tomorrow)
Oh, I know my sins and sorrow
(I know my sins and sorrow)
I said, Lord, don't take my body
(said, Lord, don't take my body)
Oh 'cause I never hurt nobody
(I never hurt nobody)
Oh, well I said, Lord, don't ya take my body
(said, Lord, don't take my body)
No, you don't know my brother; he's a broken bone
Oh, a kicking horse on a crooked road
Don't mind my brother; he's a marionette
With a sinking stone when he's holdin' his breath
I said, Lord, don't have mercy on me
I'm looking for a light on the darkest street
oh Lord, don't you have mercy on me
I'm looking for a light on the darkest street
Oh, rivers and roads
Widow and winding
I left my body
But I didn't leave my mind
Oh, rivers and roads
Widow and winding
I left my body
But I didn't leave my mind
Oh, denied
Oh, woah, denied
I saw the sun
It was hung from the sky
Right here above the water
But they didn't seem to mind
Oh, I'll cut you down
For I know you are weak
And will those who love you
Love you when you're free?
Oh, I saw the sun
It was hung from the sky
Right here above the water
Oh, but they didn't seem to mind
Oh, and I'll cut you down
For I know you are weak
And will those who love you
Love you when you're free?
