Jesus Wept Lyrics

by Mavis Staples

[Verse 1]
My throat quits when I try to say
How I long for the day
How I wish there was a way
I could see you again

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e120760-mavis_staples~jesus_wept_lyrics.html ]
[Verse 2]
I wither next to my thorns
I thread my tongue through the horn
Arm in arm we are born
Arm in arm to the end

[Chorus]
Side streets I have worn
Through late summer storms
I should have told you
I could live without you
But I don't want to

[Verse 3]
My heart lifts when I sing
The joy I could bring
It doesn't mean a thing
I want to see you again

[Verse 2]
I wither next to my thorns
I thread my tongue through the horn
Arm in arm in arm we are born
Arm in arm to the end

[Chorus]
Side streets I have worn
Through late summer storms
I should have told you
I could live without you
But I don't want to

[Verse 1]
My throat quits when I try to say
How I long for the day
How I wish there was a way
To see you again

[Outro]
Side streets I have worn
Through late summer storms
I should have told you
I could live without you
But I don't want to
But I don't want to
I don't want to
