Everything holds a bloodstain
My life is a-soaking red
Keep on riding on the night train
So many times I do regret
Burning the midnight oil
Digging the daytime soil
And dragging my feet on a crumbling ledge
You are my saviour
Like an angel you set me free
Like the stars that shine at night
You are the one to put me right
You taught me how to believe
You are my saviour
Like an angel you set me free
Like the stars that shine at night
You are the one to put me right
You taught me how to believe
I'm a servant to the bottle
And I'm a slave to the big machine
Lived a life of beg and borrow
Preacher man can't keep me clean
I walked a thousand miles Till the rain it filled my shoes
On the way down south to sing my blues
You are my saviour
Like an angel you set me free
Like the stars that shine at night
You are the one to put me right
You taught me how to believe
You are my saviour
Like an angel you set me free
Like the stars that shine at night
You are the one to put me right
You taught me how to believe
I have counted every mile
And I have counted every year
The bedside holds a bible
And in my heart I hide the tears
You are my saviour
Like an angel you set me free
Like the stars that shine at night
You are the one to put me right
You taught me how to believe
You are my saviour
Like an angel you set me free
Now that you're gone
The road is a tough and long
Those old stars don't shine on me
