Lord Rest My Soul

from Romantic Music For Perverts by Black Hay

lyrics

I woke up cold in the dead of the night
Lord rest my soul
I woke up dead in the cold of the night
Oh let my soul be still

The bottle doesn’t work for me anymore
Lord rest my soul
Don’t want to feel it drinking from me anymore
Oh let my soul be still

Been running like there’s something I need to find
Lord rest my soul
I wonder if I’ve only been wasting my time
Oh let my soul be still

When I’m sick and thin, will you let me in?
Will you let me in when I come crawling?
Reaching for the light, will you make it right?
Help me make it right because I’m still falling.

I hardly recognise my friends right now
Lord rest my soul
My friends don’t recognise me anyhow
Oh let my soul be still

I tried so hard to be good and true
Lord rest my soul
I found that with love you can hurt folks too
Oh let my soul be still

My dreams are fading, one at a time
All the sand running out that used to be mine
I’m lost in the rain, alone in the dark
With no place left to go

When I’m sick and thin, will you let me in?
Will you let me in when I come crawling?
Reaching for the light, will you make it right?
Help me make it right because I’m still falling.

You have to keep on, there’s no way back
Lord rest my soul
Either you keep the train rolling or you die on the track
Oh let my soul be still

about

Black Hay London, UK

Black Hay is the project of London-born Gideon K and a motley crew of collaborators.

Previously described as "Worse than Leonard Cohen", Black Hay's music has gone from noirish garage rock, to grungey alt-country low-rock, via DIY house-bound balladry, to a current incarnation of cold-hearted post-punk indie synth-tronica.

The new single 'Always Be Mine' is out now.
