Matthew's Daughter Lyrics

I don't know if there’s a God up in heaven
But I met an angel today
Though her wings might be hidden
'Cause I don't see no feathers
She’s made of light and of grace

And so she took my hand
And she lead me down
As we sat by the waters edge

And I said Matthew's daughter
Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I've made mistakes
So bathe me in water
Come and dive in the river, you can start again

No, I don't see no halo but I know that it's there
Resting one angel, with her auburn hair
And I told her my secrets, the darkest I have
And I swear that she sees me for all that I am

And I said Matthew's daughter
Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I’ve made mistakes
So bathe me in water
Come and dive in the river, we can start again

And then she took my hand, said, my love, don’t you worry
It only means there's a heart in your chest
Ooo, so follow me love and come away with me
To where the sun rises in the west

Then I said Matthew’s daughter
Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I've made mistakes
So bathe me in water
Come and dive in the river, you can start again

And I said Matthew's daughter
Heaven knows I’m a sinner and I've made mistakes
So bathe me in water
And she said to me, darling, lemme ease your pain
Come and dive in the water, you can start again
