[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And so she took my hand
And she lead me down
As we sat by the water's edge

[Chorus]
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"

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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"
[Bridge]
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"

[Chorus]
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"

[Outro]
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"
