Beth Hart St. Teresa song lyrics

Saint Teresa I heard you coming to town.

Your little footstep, made the sweetest sound.

You come to put me down, come to put me down...

down...

down.

Mother is it okay if I call you mama.

On walked away when I broke the law.

Standing on the bridge feeling like father.

Would you pray for me now?

Saint Teresa have mercy on my soul.

The good must die young, that's why I'm gettin so old.

They come to put me down, come to put me down...

down...

down.

Mother is okay if I call you mama, On walked away when i broke the law.

Standin on the bridge feelin like father.

Would you pray for me now?

I was never good at confession.

Never really that good at anything at all.

They don't want me hangin around the mission, singin Halleluiah, singin Halleluiah.

Saint Teresa could I kiss your skin?

Come a little closer, to this hell I'm livin in.

And when they put me down, when they put me down.

Mother is it okay if I call you mama.

On walked away when I broke the law.

Standing on the bridge feeling like father.

Would you pray for me now?

Would you pray for me mama?

Would you stay with me now?

I keep singing Halleluiah.
