I Would Be Confessed

[Verse 1]
Come all you weary minstrels
A warning take by me
I've been too long upon this road
To sing in harmony
I've been alone for much too long
My wanderin' days are through
I wish someone would ask me in
I'd welcome it from you

[Chorus]
I have not been contented
Too long I've been unblessed
But if you would only love me
I would be confessed

[Verse 2]
I've sat beside the Devil
I've gambled on a fall
I've sung for drinks in houses
Where I got no thanks at all
And everything I've done was left
To somе other day
When the talkin's donе
Drinks are gone
There's nothin' left to say

[Chorus]
I have not been contented
Too long I've been unblessed
But if you would only love me
I would be confessed

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I've watched the days go slowly
I've seen the seasons fold
And hidden in the doorways
Shelter from the cold
I have made my life in riddles
And lived inside the lies
Now, I'd like to step inside awhile
Take off my disguise

[Chorus]
I have not been contented
Too long I've been unblessed
But if you would only love me
I would be confessed
