At the Bottom Songtext
von Beth Hart

Hold in my breath, not taking a step

The good church has closed its doors on me

God don′t like my dirty feet
Burnin' the lawn, everyone′s gone
Ain't no barbecue going on today

I drink my dinner in the shade
Days and days go by
Children laughin', still I don′t smile at all

Mary′s calling to me

"Can't you see what I see"
She would never let me down
It′s been a long time at the bottom
I spent a lot of time way down there
It's been a long time at the bottom
I don′t know how I made it here

Livin' a lie, my kisses are dry


Got nowhere else left to run
My love is blind, deaf and dumb
Heaven can′t wait to lock up the gate
Tell me that I never could be long


I had my chance but got it wrong
Days and days go by
Children laughin', still I don't smile at all
Mary′s calling to me
"Can′t you see what I see"
She would never let me down
It's been a long time at the bottom
I spent a lot of time way down there
It′s been a long time at the bottom
I don't know how I made it here
Mother Mary, stay with me
Don′t let me die
You're the only god part left of my trash
And God knows I can′t change me
I've tried and tried
I never meant to make you cry
It's been a long time at the bottom
I spent a lot of time way down there
It′s been a long time at the bottom
I don′t know how I made it here
