Give Me Love

(album: Blood Red Roses - 2018)

Stuck in the middle of Broadway
Between a heaven and a deep blue sea
There was a time I was a good man
Now I'm drowning in my misery, ahh yeah
My life's going nowhere
If there's a God, show me please
You know what, my wretched soul is dying
Brother I'm down on my knees, oh yeah

Give me love, give me love, give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love, give me love
That's all I'm asking
Give me love, give me love, give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love, give me love
I'm down on my knees

Peace be still
Peace be still
Peace be still

I woke up in Harlem
Pavement as my pillow again
My wife and children left me
No hope, no home, just shame
My heart is raging with anger
A fair trial I did not get
Fifteen years in Sing Sing
For a crime that I did not commit, oh yeah

Give me love, give me love, give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love, give me love
Right now, right now
Give me love, give me love, give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love, give me love

Peace be still
Peace be still this night
Peace be still
I am angry, I am angry, I am angry

Lord show me some mercy
Help me please, help me
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Listen

Peace be still
Master the tempest is raging
Peace be still
The billows are tossing high
Peace be still
The sky is shadowed in darkness
Peace be still
No shelter, no shelter is nigh

Give me love, give me love, give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love, give me love
Help me now sisters, help me
Give me love, give me love, give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love, give me love
Please lord show me
Give me love, give me love, give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love, give me love, give me love
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Give me love, give me love, give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love, give me love
Alright, alright, alright

Peace be still
Peace please be still
Peace be still
Oh yeah
