Beggars Day

by Crazy Horse

on Crazy Horse (1971)

If this is heaven, then I'm in hell
If trust is misfortune, then wish me well
While I think of sad mistakes, your light comes through
Your light comes through, your light comes through
'Cause it's beggar's day, 'cause it's beggar's day
'Cause it's beggar's day, 'cause it's beggar's day

I lost control of my darker side
I murder for free all the hearts of the wise
I have crossed my sheltered anger, all your mercy can't save me
All your mercy can't save me, all your mercy can't save me
'Cause it's beggar's day, 'cause it's beggar's day
'Cause it's beggar's day, 'cause it's beggar's day

Well sin is love, I smile for you
Meaner than meanest, all I feel is not true
I have crossed my sheltered anger, all your mercy can't save me
All your mercy can't save me, all your mercy can't save me
'Cause it's beggar's day, 'cause it's beggar's day
'Cause it's beggar's day, 'cause it's beggar's day
