Bless My Soul Lyrics

I know why the blackbird sings
his strange and mournful song on a summer s night
I know why the spirit brings
us back into this world until we get it right
I m on a roll
and I begin to see the light
bless my soul
I ve been around so many times
I know why the baby cries
it s way into the arms of a mother s love
I know why true love survives
and it is more than the red hot fire of another s t ouch
I m on a roll
and I am not afraid to fight
bless my soul
on a long hot summer s night
It might seem fair to warn you
that there s nothing here to stop me
(from drowning in the darkness
of the things I can t control
the angel near my heaven
who I know will always haunt me
is constant and convincing
I ve a long long way to go
INTRO RIFF
I know why the day is long
when there is no one to talk to about my dreams
I know when the evening comes
that I will know the song of desire that the blackbird sings
I m on a roll
and I am not afraid to fight
bless my soul
I ve been around so many time
It might seem fair to warn you
that there s nothing here to stop me
(from drowning in the darkness
of the things I can t control
the angel near my heaven
who I know will always haunt me
is constant and convincing
I ve a long long way to go
