A Plea to Saint Peter

I'd swear it doctor my dreams are taking over

I can't tell ya for certain I ain't outside my mind

I see the faces that I've carried

to be shipped back home and buried 

Empty but for the fear froze in their eyes

And Momma why won't someone come to save me

Momma why'd they cast me off aside

This country took my daylight and left me in the dark

that's when the horror inside my head all comes to life

And darlin' in my dreams you're with somebody

someone you said had loved you once before

And darlin' in my dreams it's my reflection

but I just can't seem to find it anymore

Oh little baby I swear I'm not the devil

but the devil's hiding deep inside my bones

I've always loved you so but now your daddy's gotta go

and I just can't live in heaven all alone

Now would you kindly hear me out Saint Peter

there's no place left for all of us to go

I know you'll second guess me

but I'm praying you might bless me

The world down here is just too bitter cold
