Lyrics Carry Me - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Carry Me

I lay down by the river
The shadows moved across me, inch by inch
And all that I heard
Was the war between the water and the bridge
Turn to me, turn to me, turn to me Turn and drink of me Or look away, look away, look away
And never more think of me Carry me Carry me I heard the many voices
Speaking to me from the depths below
This ancient wound
This catacomb
Beneath the whited snow
Come to me, come to me, come to me Come and drink of me Or turn away, turn away, turn away
And never more think of me Carry me Carry me away
Who will lay down their hammer?
Who will put up their sword?
And pause to see
The mystery
Of the Word
Carry me Carry me Carry me Carry me away
Carry me Carry me Carry me Carry me away
