Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews - Deed is Done Lyrics

Oh, so I'm praying all at night

And I wake up praying the whole daylight

I pray to you, and hear my request

I ask of you to save this baby

Oh, look at the girl

Awful inside, is cancer-eaten, is life-deprived,

And if so by who? Could it be you?

I see no need for a baby's wisdom for you



Oh, God, the girl, all yellow turned

Her cheeks are swollen, and soul is burned

Oh, but the girl, the girl is gone

And the deed is done, oh it must be wrong



Oh and I pray, my prayer's not heard

Could it be your deaf, deaf to mortal words?

Oh, and see her pain, and drain and drain

Could you be deaf, and blind my friend?

Oh, and so we hold

Cannot you not hear? Cannot you not see?

And if with words

You could change the way things are arranged

Surely you'd be speaking, speaking no change

Oh, but the girl, deaf, dumb, and blind

From the cancer burning deep down inside

Oh, but the deed is done

And the girl is gone

I see no faith

That I have won



Well, you may find your religion

You may find your attraction

You may go, for me the girl is gone



Oh, you may find you're faithful

You may find out the reaction

But to me, the baby's gone

The baby...

Hey... hey...
