I asked my mother where I was, October 66
Sitting in my classroom she say
When further up the valley a black mountain gave a sigh
With a generations children in its way
Sing to my soul, sing to my soul,
Love say hello, don't say goodbye
Don't leave me dry, sing to my soul
I am slick with words and sentences I am silver with my tongue
If a story's to be telling then baby I am the one
Touch the past that's in a soul, the heart begins to grieve
But lately I've been wondering what it is that I believe
Sing to my soul, sing to my soul,
Love say hello, don't say goodbye
Don't leave me dry, sing to my soul
There's so much to hold me here, much to tie me down
Walking wishes come and gone, something in me drowned
Tonight I am lost in this old town, tonight the map is torn
Running round, trying to find the path that I have worn
So I took a walk down thunder road dodging all the blame
I found a crowd who'd gathered there and they all felt the same
And we all cried out on our guitars, martyrs to the cause
But when we finished playing, I couldn't here applause
Sing to my soul, sing to my soul,
Love say hello, don't say goodbye
Don't leave me dry, sing to my soul
A sound can be the difference, a voice can turn the way
Let me run to catch your words, let me hear you say
You can kiss the lips of heaven, boy, she'll call out your name
Touch the devil's handiwork, it can feel the same
Sing to my soul, sing to my soul,
Love say hello, don't say goodbye
Don't leave me dry, sing to my soul
I thought I saw you smiling in the sound of the refrain
Thought I felt your pleasure as I sang it once again
All these little parts of me scattered at your feet
And I'll believe in miracles if you still want to meet
Sing to my soul
