Текст Mavis Staples – Wish I Had Answered
Текст:
Come and follow me, you know the master said
Don’t wait till tomorrow, oh you may be dead
I was you and I wanted to play
Said I’d wait just one more day
Don’t you know I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Said I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Oh I wish
(Wish I had answered)
When he called
And one morning I felt the pain
Felt like death done sung my name
Started to tremble deep down inside yeah
And I felt the fear of the swelling tide
Don’t you know I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Said I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Oh I wish
(Wish I had answered)
When he called
So many doctors stood around my bed
One walked away, oh he shook his head
Said «your fever 102»
Said «I don’t believe her, I can pull you through»
Don’t you know I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Said I wish
(Wish I had answered)
(Wish I had answered)
When he called
Then the fever rose to 103
The doctor walked around and took a look at me
Oh it rose to 104
He said «Oh death is knocking at your door»
Oh it rose to 105
Said «I don’t believe that you will survive»
Lord I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Oh Lord I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Oh Lord I wish
(Wish I had answered)
When he called
(Wish I had answered)
Don’t you know I wished
(Wish I had answered)
Oh Lord I wish
(Wish I had answered)
Oh Lord I wish
(Wish I had answered)
When he called
