Into My Arms
Nick Cave · Other Songs - Nick Cave
But I know darling that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch your hair on your head
But to leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
Into my arms oh Lord
Into my arms oh Lord
Into my arms oh Lord
Into my arms
I don't believe in the existance of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
And if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk like Christ in grace and love
And guide you into my arms
Into my arms oh Lord
Into my arms oh Lord
Into my arms oh Lord
Into my arms
But I believe in love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down me and you
So keep your candle burning
Make a journey bright and pure
That you'll keep returning always and evermore
Into my arms oh Lord
Into my arms oh Lord
Into my arms oh Lord
Into my arms
Into My Arms
