St. Teresa

St Teresa

I heard you're coming to town

Your little footsteps

Make the sweetest sound

They come to put me down
Come to put me down down down

Mother is it ok if I call you mama

My own walked away when I broke the law

And standing on the bridge
Feeling like falling

Would you pray for me mama

St Teresa

Have mercy on my soul

The good must die young

That's why I'm getting so old

They come to put me down
They come to put me down down down

Mother is it ok if I call you mama

My own walked away when I broke the law

And standing on the bridge feeling like falling

Would you pray for me mama

I was never good at confession

Never really that good at anything at all

And they don't want me hanging around the mission

Singing hallelujah

Singing hallelujah

St Teresa

Could I kiss your skin

Come a little closer

To this hell I'm living in

When they put me down
When they put me down

Mother is it ok if I call you mama

My own walked away when I broke the law

And standing on the bridge
Feeling like falling

Would you pray for me mama

Would you pray for me mama

Would you stay with me mama

And keep singing hallelujah

Mama
