Old Swan - Mark Lanegan

Clean

New roads unfurled

Light of the world

Redeemed

Your humble child

Don’t leave me here

Let me come with you

And though my soul is not worth saving

My mistress and my queen

Your spirit is larger than my sin

It does not lie

It does not lie

In this faith that we live and die

I give myself to you

Sustained

No need to explain

Fade into the sun

The evening kisses your rays

Sweet mother

Queen of the world

I’m free

Free at last

Dear Mother

Queen of the earth and air

Let cool water flow

Sweet mother

Queen of the world

Let cool water flow

Claim this land

Noth south east west

To the wind you dance

Sweet mother

I give myself to you

And have no other

Have no other than you

Clean

Through the eternal

Through dead seasons

Sail to the sun

My mother and my queen

Honest and serene

Praise God

God in everything

God in everyone

Way up

Way up high

Way up high mama

All my darkness cleaned away

Sweet mother

Sweet sweet mother

Sweet mother

Queen of the world

Take me in your arms

Let me live again

Clean
