Covenant Woman - Lyrics by Bob Dylan


Lyrics
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 where you are.
And I just got to tell you
I do intend
To stay closer than any friend.I just got 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.
And I just got to tell you
I do intend
To stay closer than any friend.I just got 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 we are strangers in a land we're passing through.I'll always be right by your side, I've got a covenant too.
And I just got to tell you
I do intend
To stay closer than any friend.I just got to thank you
Once again
For making your prayers known
Unto heaven for me
And to you, always, so grateful
I will forever be.
