St. Teresa - Beth Hart

St. Teresa\nI heard you’re coming to town\nYour little footsteps\nMake the sweetest sound\nThey come to put me down\nCome to put me down down down\nMother is it ok if I call you mama?\nMy own walked away when I broke the law\nAnd standing on the bridge\nFeeling like falling\nWould you pray for me mama?\nSt. Teresa\nHave mercy on my soul\nThe good must die young\nThat’s why I’m getting so old\nThey come to put me down\nThey come to put me down down down\nMother is it ok if I call you mama?\nMy own walked away when I broke the law\nAnd standing on the bridge feeling like falling\nWould you pray for me mama?\nI was never good at confession\nNever really that good at anything at all\nAnd they don’t want me hanging around the mission\nSinging hallelujah\nSinging hallelujah\nSt. Teresa\nCould I kiss your skin?\nCome a little closer\nTo this hell I’m living in When they put me down\nWhen they put me down\nMother is it ok if I call you mama?\nMy own walked away when I broke the law\nAnd standing on the bridge\nFeeling like falling\nWould you pray for me mama?\nWould you pray for me mama?\nWould you stay with me mama?\nAnd keep singing hallelujah\nMama
