Seven Days
The night you closed the door on me
And wouldn’t let me back in
I had to take the long road
To atone for my sins
Had to ask your forgiveness
Oh I felt such a fool
I was pleading with your supervisor
To put me through to you
Chorus
She said Sonny I get a lot of calls like this
Here late at night
My advice is not to be so stressed
Don’t be so up tight
Remember what the old folk say
Let your horse go on its way
It’ll come back to you again
After seven days
Verse 2
So I wandered aimlessly around
A hole burning in my heart
When I lucked upon a priest
Showed me where I could start
Right there I fell upon my knees
And I called out your name
I was praying with all that I had
A voice answered my shame
Chorus
He said Son I get a lot of calls like this
Here late at night
My advice is not to be so stressed
Don’t be so up tight
Remember what the old folk say
Let your horse go on its way
It’ll come back to you again
After seven days
Bridge
Seven days was all it took for God to make the world
So I took his word and seven days a week now,
I’m answering his calls
Chorus
And now Honey I get a lot of calls like this
Here late at night
My advice is not to be so stressed
Don’t be so up tight
Remember what the old folk say
Let your horse go on its way
It’ll come back to you again
After seven days
