Matthew's Daughter

[Verse 1]

I don't know if there’s a God up in Heaven

But I met an angel today

Though her wings might be hidden

'Cause I don't see no feathers

She’s made of light and of grace

[Pre-Chorus]

And so she took my hand

And she lead me down

As we sat by the water's edge

[Chorus]

And I said, "Matthew's daughter

Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I've made mistakes

So bathe me in water

Come and dive in the river, you can start again"

[Verse 2]

No, I don't see no halo but I know that it's there

Resting one inch over her auburn hair

And I told her my secrets, the darkest I have

And I swear that she sees me for all that I am

[Chorus]

And I said, "Matthew's daughter

Heaven knows I’m a sinner and I’ve made mistakes

So bathe me in water

Come and dive in the river, we can start again"

[Bridge]

And then she took my hand, said, "My love, don't you worry

It only means there’s a heart in your chest

Ooh, so follow me love and come away with me

To where the sun rises in the west"

[Chorus]

Then I said, "Matthew's daughter

Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I've made mistakes

So bathe me in water

Come and dive in the river, you can start again"

[Outro]

And I said, "Matthew’s daughter

Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I've made mistakes

So bathe me in water"

And she said to me, "Darling, lemme ease your pain

Come and dive in the water, you can start again"
