David Gray - Mr. Bennett Lyrics

David Gray Lyrics

"Mr. Bennett"

Got Jesus on the water
Got Midas on the land
The wind cries out a warning
My heart can understand

Heard a lot of tell that fortune
Puts her favour on the brave
One more sweet tale to tempt you
On down into your grave

Not a worry
Not a worry on my mind
Hey
Not a worry
Not a worry on my mind
Hey

It came in on the radar
While we were fast asleep
That mighty tide of darkness
Is rising from the deep

God, help those little children
So many leaves of grass
No mother can protect them
From what shall come to pass

Not a worry
Not a worry on my mind
Hey
No, not a worry, Lord
No, not a worry on my mind
Yeah

Prisoners of conscience
You beggars of belief
I dreamed love was a soldier
Came striding through the wheat

Got Jesus on the water
Got a darkness on the land
The wind howls out a warning
Any fool can understand

No, not a worry, Lord
Not a worry on my mind
Hey
Not a worry, Lord, not a worry, Lord
Not a worry, Lord, Lord, Lord, on my mind
Yeah

No, not a worry, Lord
No, not a worry, Lord, on my mind
On my mind
On my mind
