mavis staples - wish i had answered lyrics
[verse 1]
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
[hook 1]
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
[verse 2]
and one morning i felt the pain
felt like death done sung my name
started to remble deep down inside yeah
and i felt the fear of the swelling tide
[hook 1]
[verse 3]
so many doctors stood around my bed
one walked away, oh he shook his head
said “your fever 102”
said “i don’t beliver her, i can pull you through”
[hook 1]
[verse 4]
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 belive that you will survive”
[hook 2]
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
