Covenant
Woman - Bob Dylan
Covenant woman, got
a contract with the lord
Way up yonder, great will be her reward
Covenant woman shinin' like a mornin' star
I know i can trust you to stay the way you are.
Yes an' i just got to tell you that i do intend
To stay closer than any friend
Yes an' i just got to thank you once again
For makin' your prayers known unto heaven for me
And to you, always, so greatful i will forever be.
I've been broken, shattered like an' empty cup
I'm just awaiting on the lord to rebuild an' fill me up
And i know that he will do it 'cause he's faithful an' he's true
He must have loved me all so much to send me someone as fine as you.
Yes an' i just got to tell you i do intend
To stay closer, closer than any friend
Yes an' i just got to thank you once again
For makin' your prayers known unto heaven for me
And to you, always, so greatful i will forever be.
Covenant woman, intimate little girl
Who knows those most secret things of me that are hidden from the world
You know that we are strangers in a land we 're passin' thru
I'll always be right by your side, i got a covenant too.
Yes an' i just gotta tell you that i do intend
To stay closer than any friend
Yes an' i just got to thank you once again
For makin' your prayers known unto heaven for me
And to you, always, so greatful i will forever be.
