Lyrics Richard Ashcroft

Richard Ashcroft

Let My Soul Rest

Are you with me, are you here?

'Cause I can't see, I heard the word

I heard a whisper in the trees

(I want you to hear)

I heard a problem in the breeze

Lord, have mercy, let me be, yeah, yeah

Let my soul rest in peace

Oh, I have had too much pain, had too much pain

Oh-oh-oh, I wanna fly again, I wanna fly again

So take me up through the shit

And the hurt, let me find rarer air

Where I cope, where I fit

Where there's hope to forgive

Where this dark comes to light

Oh-oh-oh

Let my soul fly

Please stay a while, babe, please stay a while

Oh, let my soul rest in peace

(Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la)

Let me fly with the company that I need

That I want, you make me breathe

I miss you so much, it's killing me

Do they know where I've been?

'Bout the hurt and the blood

And the loss and the love

Lord, forgive me, here I come
