suzanne vega - penitent (acoustic version) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
once i stood alone so proud
held myself above the crowd
and now i’m low on the ground
from here i look around to see
what avenues belong to me
i can’t tell what i’ve found

[refrain]
now what would you have me do?
i ask you please
i wait to hear
[verse 2]
the mother and the matador
the mystic, each were here before
like me to stare you down
but you appear without a face
disappear but leave your trace
i feel your unseen frown

[refrain]
now what would you have me do?
i ask you please
i wait to hear

[chorus]
your voice
the word
you say
i wait
to see your sign
would i
obey?

[verse 3]
i look for you in heathered moor
the desert and the ocean floor
how low does one heart go?
and looking for your fingerprints
i find them in coincidence
and make my faith to grow
[verse 4]
forgive me all my blindnesses
weakness and unkindnesses
as yet unbending still
struggling so hard to see
my fist against eternity
and will you break my will?

[refrain]
now what would you have me do?
i ask you please
i wait to hear

[chorus]
your voice
the word
you say
i wait
to see your sign
would i
obey?

[refrain]
now what would you have me do?
i ask you please
i wait to hear
[chorus]
your voice
the word
you say
i wait
to see your sign
could i
obey?
