Carry Me Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

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 nevermore think of me 

Carry me 

Carry me away 

Who will lay down their hammer? 

Who will put up their sword? 

Pause to see 

The mystery 

The mystery of the world 

Carry me 

Carry me 

Carry me 

Carry me away 

Carry me 

Carry me 

Carry me 

Carry me away 

Carry me 

Carry me 

Carry me 

Carry me away
