I have risen from ashes and been called clean I've been sprinkled with the water that purifies me And i kissed my baby, september morning 'Til time came to take her from me And if i was honest with myself - i just can't forgive These witches and vampires and women that hurt me Raising the question - it must be a decision Nailing my bitter to the wall 'Cos it's a new day that i wanna be living A new day with you 'Cos it's a new day that i have been given A new day with you Stronger men than me they have retired Punched clean out of this life And in a way i don't blame them thye've seen more than i have And may angels close their eyes And it's true what they say that you can only meet them Somewhere just past halfway And it's there i'll be waitin' by that old woodshed And nail my bitter to the wall
