about

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone…

lyrics

Lift Me Up



The knowing was in her eyes, there was nothing I could say
I’ve lived a wretched life, drank my blues away
Staggered off into the dark, spiralling down I fell
Crawling on my hands and knees, trapped within this hell

So lift me up, lift me up
You can mend my broken wings it’s not enough
So lift me up, lift me up, Lord lift me up…

So many gravel roads, in misery I run
I might’ve sought redemption, from the barrel of a gun
Until I heard the promises, of a broken preacher man
He can forgive my every sin, at least he says he can

So lift me up, lift me up
You can mend my broken wings it’s not enough
So lift me up, lift me up, Lord lift me up…

(SOLO)

I felt that golden light, coming streaming down
And I know that you ain’t never coming ‘round
I needed rescuing, and no one could be found
And now I’m reachin’ up, for the higher ground

So lift me up, lift me up
You can mend my broken wings it’s not enough
So lift me up, lift me up, Lord lift me up…

Shinbone Star Melbourne, Australia

A blues band that refuses to be boxed in. Some great classic blues, but also some rocky blues... some country blues...
