Old Chapels O’ Stone (Live) Lyrics by Jack Cookson (Folk)

Live at Helios Studios

2015

You can cry all night or sleep all day
Drink, curse and fight, or simply run away
But after all that happens between sun and moon;
Judgement will be passed on you, pretty damn soon
But I'm not saying it's too late, 'cause apparently there's a way to redeem yourself and lose your fate and avoid that price to pay but when you hear this song, please don't turn away; guilt and shame is written all over my face, when you hear this song, please hear don't turn away. No, no, no, don't call me a preacher of hell fire and brimstone, for I too grow weaker by the day and I'm feeling far from worthy of his high golden throne, let alone the cold hard pews of old chapels o' stone

(Harmonica Solo)

Well, you can cry all night or sleep all day, drink, curse and fight, or simply run away but when you hear this song, please hear what I say; guilt and shame is written all over my face. When you hear this song, please don't turn away. No, no, no, don't call me a preacher of hell fire and brimstone, for I too grow weaker by the day and I'm feeling far from worthy of his high golden throne, no let alone the cold hard pews of old chapels o' stone

(Oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh)

You can feel it in your bones, can't you?
A taste of sweet salvation running through you
Could you take a second to answer me why, oh why?
Why can't I?

Don't call me a preacher of hell fire and brimstone
For I too grow weaker by the day and
I'm feeling far from worthy of his high golden throne
No let alone the cold hard pews of old chapels o' stone
No let alone the cold hard pews of old chapels o' stone
No let alone the cold hard pews of old chapels o' stone
No let alone the cold hard pews of old chapels o' stone
