Sweet Gen Genoveve
Sweet Gen Genoveve
When you hold out your hand
Don't you know its only me
That really understands
Sweet Gen Genoveve
When you hold out on me
You think I don't understand
That you were so hungry
Sweet Gen Genoveve
You know I'm your only friend
When I'm holding out my hand
Take a little rest by me
Sweet Gen Genoveve
Your heart is on your sleeve
But the cold don't understand
This ain't your promiseland
Sweet Gen Genoveve
Put your trust in me
You bless us with your sweet torn hands
When you sit here with me
