Hair raisin' in every room

Held by the holy hand of winter
Before God an' man
All my dirt from your holy feet
Held by the holy hand of winter
'Cept to be by my side
Will they wash it away
An' you ask for nothin'

An' you see right through
'Cause you ask for nothin'
Yes, my sister girl
Before God an' man

Is there somethin' behind my eyes?
When the spirit blows
I know that it is true
I can look good, I swear
My wretched bones
You see me with the Lord's eye, girl
Up the street come a walkin' chill
'Cept to be by my side love

An' you ask for nothin'
No, I don't believe it works that way

Brought low by winter's holy hand
I seen you in the river
'Cept to be by my side
An' you ask for nothin'
I seen you in the river
All ore an' all through, yeah
See my tears, good father
Brought low by winter's holy hand
