Lyrics
DOWN ON MY KNEES
by Marvin Floyd and Vicki and Ken Cofield
VERSE 1
Soon after you left, my momma said
Keep the home fires burning
It's been so hard without you
Don't know if you're returning
CHORUS
Down on my luck
Down through the years
Down in the valley
I said a prayer
Down on my knees
VERSE 2
I grabbed my keys, stepped out the door
A red-tailed hawk circled in the air
I wonder if he's lonely?
Or has he circled so long he doesn't care?
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I'm down, down on my knees
Asking for grace
Looking for a sign
Don't want to wake up without you anymore
And when you walk through our front door
I'll thank the Lord
Down on my knees
VERSE 3
I thought I saw a ghost the other night
It looked like you in the soft moonlight
Like a lonesome whipoorwill
It looked like you, I just couldn't tell
CHORUS
BRIDGE
