Songtext von Keepsake

It's been thirty-one years Since she's been in your arms But don't worry about Mama Mama's got a good heart And I'm not looking for your love I'm only sniffing out blood Just a little taste of where I came from And at the bottom of this river Is where I put you down to lay So I can live with it And in my heart there are these waters Where I put you down to lay While I learn to live with it Until I'm free And it's been all my life I've been wondering on the inside What we could've had If you'd had a part in my life And there were children involved And they were brothers to me Even if we never got to meet And at the bottom of this river Is where I put you down to lay So I can live with it And in my heart there are these waters Where I put you down to lay While I learn to live with it Until I'm Free at last from this shadow that hangs Surely you wonder sometimes And I'm sure you all sympathize Just what a man's to become, just like his daddy's done I just want to love someone Who has the same blood And at the bottom of this river Is where I put you down to lay So I can live with it And in my heart there are these waters Where I put you down to lay While I learn to live with it Keepsake Until I'm free
