Dear Lord (Album Version)

Dear Lord (Album Version) - Steve Forbert

Dear Lord hear Lord

Please if you will my plea

Send me someone else

Send me someone else

I can't eat I can't sleep

I don't even brush my teeth

Down here by myself

Down here by myself

Though my paths may wind

Through walls of grapevine

Though the trees hang ripe

With fruit to eat

Though the berry buds may bloom and taste fine

I can't help but look for fruit more sweet

The one thing that I'd bring

To this scene so free

Is somethin' much like me

Is somethin' much like me

Except with soft lips

Tender breasts an' hips

Pretty eyes to see

Pretty eyes to see

Though these last few nights

Were white with moonlight

Though your brooks

And streams are clean and clear

Though your morning sun's

A fine and bright sight

I can't help but look for more down here

So dear Lord hear Lord

Make me someone new

If you'd be so kind

If you'd be so kind

My bed's cold the game's old

I'm awf'ly bored blue

If you would not mind

If you would not mind
