Demons Down Lyrics

Mountain of forgiveness

As big as the earth

You give me sweet soul loving

I don't even deserve

I'm crazy about you

And I'm trying to get to paradise mile

I know that I could do better

I guess it's time I put my demons down

From the Canadian border

Straight down to the Gulf

I'll follow you darling

When the going gets tough

There ain't no place

That I could hide from your love

Was it the gin that got me poisoned

When I was trying to put some demons down

I've cried out for mercy

I've gambled my life

For the kiss of your heart

I'd do it all again twice

I can't pretend

That I'm the least amount surprised

I'm in the garden of repentance

And I'm still trying to put the demons down

I don't expect you to forget

The times I couldn't get along

The ways I might have bruised you

When the madness done you wrong

I'm tormented by a haunt

Like a radio that won't turn off

I've been persuaded by your pardon

And now I've got to put my demons down

Your rare and potent beauty

Is better than the rest

You could make an artist ditch the paintbox

And the poet trash his pen

I'll walk with you my darling

Through any type of hard luck town

And I must thank you for your patience

As I'm putting all these demons down

Yes I know that time's a wasting

And I'm just trying to put my demons down
