《Sweet Jesus》是英國前衛搖滾樂隊Barclay James Harvest成員Les Holroyd於1975年創作並演唱的歌曲，最初收錄於專輯《Time Honoured Ghosts》，後亦被收入精選集《Sea Of Tranquility - The Polydor Years 1974-1997》。該作品誕生於樂隊融合交響搖滾與民謠敘事的轉型探索期，以公路漂泊者的獨白視角展開敘事。
歌詞通過反覆呼告"Sweet Jesus"的宗教意象，結合"Take the shadow from my eyes"等隱喻，勾勒出現代人在現實疏離中尋求精神救贖的主題。作品在民謠搖滾的框架下，借聖歌式副歌與碎片化場景的鋪陳，呈現出70年代迷幻民謠特有的詩意氣質，將個人漂泊體驗升華為存在主義追問。

歌曲歌詞
Where's the lady and the time I used to know
I think that I've been on the road too long
Scenes of better days are pictured in my head
And haunting me those old familiar your songs
Oh sweet Jesus hear me cry
Let me see a clearing sky
For tomorrow I may be back home again
So take the shadow from my eyes
Sunday morning comes I'm feeling kind of down
I can't see back to where it all began
And I know you'd help me if you only could
I don't know why or where or who I am
Oh sweet Jesus hear me cry
Let me see a clearing sky
For tomorrow I may be back home again
So take the shadow from my eyes
Oh sweet Jesus hear me cry
Let me see a clearing sky
For tomorrow I may be back home again
So take the shadow from my eyes
Take the shadow from my eyes
