I Would Be Confessed Songtext

von David McWilliams

Come all you weary mistrels
A warning take by me
I've been too long upon this road
To sing in harmony
I've been alone for much too long
My wanderin' days are through
I wish someone would ask me in
I'd welcome it from you

I have not been contented
Too long I've been unblessed
But if you would only love me
I would be confessed

I've sat beside the devil
I've gambled on a fall
I've sung for drinks in houses
Where I got no thanks at all
And everything I've done was left
To do some other day
When the talkin's done
The drinks are gone
There's nothin' left to say

I have not been contented
Too long I've been unblessed
But if you would only love me
I would be confessed

I've watched the days go slowly
I've seen the seasons fall
And hidden in the doorways
To shelter from the cold
I have made my life in riddles
And lived inside the lies
Now I'd like to step in side awhile
Throw off my disguise

I have not been contented
Too long I've been unblessed
But if you would only love me
I would be confessed
