Jesus Alone
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds 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 you convalesced, you fashioned masks of twigs and clay You cried beneath the dripping trees; you're a ghost song lodged in the throat of a mermaid With my voice I am calling you You are a young man waking covered in blood that is not yours You are a woman in a yellow dress surrounded by a charm of hummingbirds You are a young girl full of forbidden energy, flickering in the gloom You are a drug addict lying on your back in a Tijuana hotel room With my voice I am calling you With my voice I am calling you You are an African doctor harvesting tear ducts You believe in God but you get no special dispensation for this belief You are an old man sitting by the fire; you are the mist rolling off the sea You are a distant memory in the mind of your creator; don't you see With my voice I am calling you With my voice I am calling you Let us sit together until the moment comes 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 |
