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 to me)
Turn to me (turn to me)
Turn and drink of me
(Look away) look away
(Look away) 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 to me)
Come to me (come to me)
Come and drink of me
(Turn away) turn away
(Turn away) turn away
(Turn away) turn away
And never more think of me
(Carry me) carry me
(Carry me) away
Who will lay down their hammer?
Who will put up their sword? (turn to me)
And pause to see (turn to me)
The mystery (turn to me)
Oh the mystery of the Word
(Carry me) carry me
(Carry me)
(Carry me) carry me
(Carry me) away
(Carry me) carry me
(Carry me)
(Carry me) carry me
(Carry me) away
(Carry me) carry me
(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 to me)
Turn to me (turn to me)
Turn and drink of me
(Look away) look away
(Look away) 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 to me)
Come to me (come to me)
Come and drink of me
(Turn away) turn away
(Turn away) turn away
(Turn away) turn away
And never more think of me
(Carry me) carry me
(Carry me) away
Who will lay down their hammer?
Who will put up their sword? (turn to me)
And pause to see (turn to me)
The mystery (turn to me)
Oh the mystery of the Word
(Carry me) carry me
(Carry me)
(Carry me) carry me
(Carry me) away
(Carry me) carry me
