Heaven Knows
I saw all sides of man in New Orleans
Sang songs of the old coal mines
The words we read that night of the medicine man
Gave heed to the changing times
Heard cold winds cry like ghosts of time
All along the Louisiana shore
And I broke your heart in Arkansas
'Cause I'm the kind that never learns
Don't pray for me, my angel
Pray to the ocean tide
We've set our sails for deeper seas
Heaven knows what we will find
Lord, give me peace when we find struggle
Give me speed of the fox that finds the way
Give me light to find forgiveness
We both know I'm bound
To stray from the east off to the west
From the north to the south
'Cause I've denied tall tales about my name
But I never had my doubt
Don't pray for me, my angel
Pray to the ocean tide
We've set our sails for deeper seas
Heaven knows what we will find
No, the Lord won't wait
He won't contemplate
He won't wait for me to change my ways
No, the Lord won't wait
He won't contemplate
He won't wait for me to change my ways
And he don't care (He don't care)
If I beg from the hilltops
Don't pray for me, my angel
Pray to the ocean tide
'Cause we've set our sails for deeper seas
Heaven knows what we–
Don't pray for me, my angel
Pray to the ocean tide
We've set our sails for deeper seas
Heaven knows what we will find
Sang songs of the old coal mines
The words we read that night of the medicine man
Gave heed to the changing times
Heard cold winds cry like ghosts of time
All along the Louisiana shore
And I broke your heart in Arkansas
'Cause I'm the kind that never learns
Don't pray for me, my angel
Pray to the ocean tide
We've set our sails for deeper seas
Heaven knows what we will find
Lord, give me peace when we find struggle
Give me speed of the fox that finds the way
Give me light to find forgiveness
We both know I'm bound
To stray from the east off to the west
From the north to the south
'Cause I've denied tall tales about my name
But I never had my doubt
Don't pray for me, my angel
Pray to the ocean tide
We've set our sails for deeper seas
Heaven knows what we will find
No, the Lord won't wait
He won't contemplate
He won't wait for me to change my ways
No, the Lord won't wait
He won't contemplate
He won't wait for me to change my ways
And he don't care (He don't care)
If I beg from the hilltops
Don't pray for me, my angel
Pray to the ocean tide
'Cause we've set our sails for deeper seas
Heaven knows what we–
Don't pray for me, my angel
Pray to the ocean tide
We've set our sails for deeper seas
Heaven knows what we will find
