Lyrics
Lord Almighty I have sinned
Knocked over by a strong ill wind
Like I never thought it could
This one blew a lot of good
A demon sat down on my bed
Held my hand and sweetly said
Do you still remember how
To reach for what you need right now
Lord forgive my tired eyes
They couldn't see through her disguise
But she was looking mighty fine
And when we kissed it felt divine
Chorus
Thought she was an angel
One of the chosen few
Wherever she might take me
I knew I'd love the view
I was feeling old
When she said the night is young
My ladder goes to heaven
Let's get off the bottom rung
I was feeling old
When she said the night is young
My ladder goes to heaven
Let's get off the bottom rung
We didn't make that holy climb
But we sure had a real good time
Now I look in my soul and see
A fire where there shouldn't be
Could be the spirit could be hell
You know sometimes it's hard to tell
I'll have to let it burn awhile
To see if it still makes me smile
Chorus
