BOB DYLAN LYRICS - Covenant Woman

"Covenant Woman"



Covenant Woman got a contract with the Lord

Way up yonder, great will be her reward

Covenant woman, shining like a morning star

I know I can trust you to stay anywhere you are.



Yes and I just got to tell you

I do intend

To stay closer than any friend

Yes and I just to thank you

Once again

For making your prayers known

Unto heaven for me

And to you, always, so grateful

I will forever be.



I've been broken, shattered like an empty cup

I'm just waiting on the Lord to rebuild and fill me up

And I know He will do it 'cause He's faithful and He's true

He must have loved me so much to send me someone as fine as you.



Yes and I just got to tell you

I do intend

To stay closer than any friend

Yes and I just to thank you

Once again

For making your prayers known

Unto heaven for me

And to you, always, so grateful

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 passing through

I'll always be right by your side, I've got a covenant too.



Yea and I just got to tell you

I do intend

To stay closer than any friend

Yea and I just to thank you

Once again

For making your prayers known

Unto heaven for me

And to you, always, so grateful

I will forever be.
