Gilead

by Deadman

on Take Up Your Mat And Walk (2010), The Best of Deadman, Vol. 2 (2021)

Two lovers, not loving
Living just to spite their grief
Wanting something so much better
To kill the pain and bring about relief

And there is a balm in Gilead that heals the weary soul
But where the balm has gone, well, nobody seems to know
If you know the way to Gilead, I would like to go
Well, just lead and I will follow

Strong whiskey certainly covers
The multitude of pain within your heart
Wine and women, you will discover
Will soothe you while tearing you apart

And there is a balm in Gilead that heals the weary soul
But where the balm has gone, well, nobody seems to know
If you know the way to Gilead, I would like to go
Well, just lead and I will follow

And there is a balm in Gilead that heals the weary soul
But where the balm has gone, well, nobody seems to know
If you know the way to Gilead, I would like to go
Well, just lead and I will follow

Pain killers in any fashion
Become a crutch and then they become your fate
So I've been thinking we need compassion
Well, just to love the people that we have come to hate

And there is a balm in Gilead that heals the weary soul
But where the balm has gone, well, nobody seems to know
If you know the way to Gilead, I would like to go
Well, just lead and I will follow

I will follow
Now here we go
