Donna Ulisse - Levi Stone lyrics

Levi Stone lived by the gospel He taught his child to do the same So when his son took sick that winter He knew he'd be fine once springtime came The boy grew weaker by the hour But Levi Stone never lost faith He told his wife no county doctor Quit your cryin' woman, kneel down and pray CHORUS: Papa, please, a drink of water Wipe the fever from my brow Tell these angels all around me They need to put me down Papa, you tell them I'm in God's hands now d**h came hard in fourteen sunsets A woman's wail tore through the sky And Levi Stone sat by the bedside Lost and alone, betrayed by God that night CHORUS: Papa, please, a drink of water Wipe the fever from my brow Tell these angels all around me They need to put me down Papa, you tell them I'm in God's hands now Sixteen years left Levi bitter He'd lost his son, he lost his wife The voices whisper, "I'm cold and thirsty" Well, he lost his mind that winter night CHORUS: Papa, please, a drink of water Wipe the fever from my brow Tell these angels all around me They need to put me down Papa, you tell them I'm in God's hands now
