Lyrics Beth Hart – At The Bottom
Text:
Holding my breath not taking a step
The good church has closed it’s doors on me
God don’t like my dirty feet
Burning the lawn everyone’s gone
I drink my dinner in the shade
Days and days go by
Children laughing still I don’t smile at all
Mary’s calling to me can’t you see what I see
She would never let me down
It’s been a long time at the bottom
I spend a lot of time way down there
It’s been a long time at the bottom
I don’t know how I made it here
Been living a lie my kisses are dry
I got nowhere else left to run
My love is blind deaf and dumb
Heaven can’t wait to lock up the gate
Tell me that I never could belong
I had my chance but got it wrong
Days and days go by
Children laughing still I don’t smile at all
Mary’s calling to me can’t you see what I see
She would never let me down
It’s been a long time at the bottom
I spend a lot of time way down there
It’s been a long time at the bottom
I don’t know how I made it here
Mother Mary stay with me don’t let me die
You’re the only good part left of my trash
I’ve tried and tried I never meant to make you cry
It’s been a long time at the bottom
I spend a lot of time way down there
It’s been a long time at the bottom
I don’t know how I made it here
