about
This is a song that I wrote and recorded in my living room in California.
lyrics
His bottle's hanging by and old shoe string
is it gonna break? is it gonna break?
If that bottle falls it's gonna hit that bell and make that metal sing
is it gonna ring? is it gonna ring?
And that cold wind's moaning
coming through the trees
and those Devil eyes will be the death of me
so I lie up in these bushes Lord I'm burning to be free crying
Moses come for me
That poison water casts and evil spell
is it gonna take? is it gonna take?
Cause if you poke that Devil he's gonna crack his eyes and come chasing after me
is he gonna wake? is he gonna wake?
And that cold wind's moaning
coming through the trees
and those Devil eyes will be the death of me
so I lie up in these bushes Lord I'm burning to be free crying
Moses come for me
We lay still and quiet while he screams and yells
the world will shake. the whole wide world will shake
But Moses is coming cause he split the seas he's gonna take my soul away
he's coming any day, Lord coming any day
And that cold wind's moaning
coming through the trees
and those Devil eyes will be the death of me
so I lie up in these bushes Lord I'm burning to be free crying
Moses come for me
Moses with your staff of wood come and lay my devil down
but you better hurry quick with that holy stick I'm almost in the ground
I know you told that pharaoh man to set your people free
but Moses come for me
And I feel that cold wind moaning
coming through the trees
and his Devil eyes will be the death of me
so I lie up in these bushes just burning to be free crying
Moses come for me.
