Godspeed, Godspeed
Forgive a sweet soul a desperate deed
His was a prison and we was freed
Godspeed, Godspeed
God bless, God bless
What's born out of sorrow or out of distress
Speculation is anyone's guess
God bless, God bless
God only knows what takes a petal from the rose
What makes the dark rivers over flow
What makes a lifetime come and go
But God damn, God damn
You put your hand in the hand of the man
Must have believed he would understand
Forgive a sweet soul a desperate deed
Godspeed, Godspeed
God only knows what takes a petal from the rose
What makes the dark rivers over flow
What makes a lifetime come and go
But God damn, God damn
You put your hand in the hand of the man
Must have believed he would understand
Forgive a sweet soul a desperate deed
Godspeed, Godspeed
Godspeed
