Matthew's Daughter - Beoga, Devin Dawson

I don’t know if there’s a God up in Heaven

But I met an angel today

Though her wings might be hidden

'Cause I don’t see no feathers

She’s made of light and of grace

And so she took my hand

And she lead me down

As we sat by the water’s edge

And I said, «Matthew's daughter

Heaven knows I’m a sinner and I’ve made mistakes

So bathe me in water

Come and dive in the river, you can start again»

No, I don’t see no halo but I know that it’s there

Resting one inch over her auburn hair

And I told her my secrets, the darkest I have

And I swear that she sees me for all that I am

And I said, «Matthew's daughter

Heaven knows I’m a sinner and I’ve made mistakes

So bathe me in water

Come and dive in the river, we can start again»

And then she took my hand, said, «My love, don’t you worry

It only means there’s a heart in your chest

Ooh, so follow me love and come away with me

To where the sun rises in the west»

Then I said, «Matthew's daughter

Heaven knows I’m a sinner and I’ve made mistakes

So bathe me in water

Come and dive in the river, you can start again»

And I said, «Matthew's daughter

Heaven knows I’m a sinner and I’ve made mistakes

So bathe me in water»

And she said to me, «Darling, lemme ease your pain

Come and dive in the water, you can start again»
