nick cave and the bad seeds - jesus alone lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
you fell from the sky
crash landed in a field
near the river adur
flowers spring from the ground
lambs burst from the wombs of their mothers
in a hole beneath the bridge
she convalesce, she fashioned masks of clay and twigs
you cried beneath the dripping trees
ghost song lodged in the throat of a mermaid

[chorus]
with my voice
i am calling you
[verse 2]
you’re a young man waking
covered in blood that is not yours
you’re a woman in a yellow dress
surrounded by a charm of hummingbirds
you’re a young girl full of forbidden energy
flickering in the gloom
you’re a drug addict lying on your back
in a tijuana hotel room

[chorus]
with my voice
i am calling you
with my voice
i am calling you

[verse 3]
you’re an african doctor harvesting tear ducts
you believe in god, but you get no special dispensation for this belief now
you’re an old man sitting by a fire, hear the mist rolling off the sea
you’re a distant memory in the mind of your creator, don’t you see?

[chorus]
with my voice
i am calling you
with my voice
i am calling you

[post-chorus]
let us sit together until the moment comes

[chorus]
with my voice
i am calling you

[post-chorus]
let us sit together in the dark until the moment comes

[chorus]
with my voice
i am calling you
with my voice
i am calling you
with my voice
i am calling you
with my voice
i am calling you
