Redemption - Joe Bonamassa

She took the fire as she was leaving

No forgiveness and no confession

Now I’m sifting through the cold grey ashes

Looking for peace in my redemption

She was my secret and I was a sinner

Had to whisper our confession

Went to the well and looked in the mirror

Raised a glass to my redemption

How long till I drink from the fountain

Redemption

How high till the top of mountain

How long, how long, am I gone

Beyond redemption

Bullets flying out of nowhere

Reaching out with no exceptions

Another preacher cries on the TV

Wants my money

And my redemption

How long till I drink from the fountain

Redemption

How high to the top of the mountain

How long, how long, am I gone

Beyond redemption

Save me

Won’t somebody save me?

Down in the valley

Try to rise up

Won’t somebody

Somebody

Save me?

No salvation in an empty promise

Hollow wall with no protection

I have to kneel at the altar

It’s the last chance

For my redemption

How long till I drink from the fountain

Redemption

How high to the top of the mountain

How long, how long, am I gone

Oh can you hear me calling

(My redemption)

Oh can you hear me calling

(My redemption)

One last chance for my redemption

How long, how long, am I gone

Beyond redemption

Can you hear me calling?

(Oh)
