lyrics

I Need To Know The Song

She took me down to the river
To wash my sins away
But she ran off with the preacher man
And stole my love that day

The crowd shook their heads in sorrow
And walked away in shame
Was it her or the preacher man
Or was it me they had to blame

Our sins show us the way
But the road ahead is long
I don’t know what to say
But I need to know the song

My past is a burden
That I carry every day
Of all the love I’ve ever had
It never went my way

Her kindness truly healed me
My love for her really grew
I would follow her anywhere
I believed her feelings true

Our sins show us the way
But the road ahead is long
I don’t know what to say
But I need to know the song

Our destiny was an illusion
That left my faith in tatters
When she ran off that fateful day
Now nothing really matters
So nothing really matters
No nothing really matters
Nothing really matters
To me

about

Scott Leslie Vero Beach, Florida

I’m a self-taught guitarist/songwriter and my influences are from the amazing music of the 60’s and 70's. In the late 60’s/early 70’s I had the good fortune to be a part-time roadie working the DC area, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York for a number of bands. They included; The Jeff Beck Group, Ten Years After, The Doors, The Who, ELP and many others. So I had some interesting influences. ... more
