Will Butler - Son of God lyrics

I've been here forever in the cold
Waiting in the weather while you go
Out searching for our gold
But nothing lasts forever I've been told
Nothing lasts forever, oh
But some of this shit's gettin' pretty old

Oh oh oh, if the son of God
Would come down and tell me what
To do, to my face, now
Oh oh oh, if the son of God
Would write it down for me
In his own handwriting
Oh oh oh, then I'd be good, then I'd be good
I swear I'd be good

But still you don't believe me
As if I would be lyin'
As if I were a suspect
As if I were not crying
As if I was not forgiven
For my sins, as if the mirror's broken
And I would get no chance on that side again

Softly and so sweetly, whisper near
Softly and so sweetly
Because you never know who's gonna overhear
Well, if you're gonna shame me, say my name
And if you're gonna blame, well then
Lay the blame lay the blame
