[Intro: ]Em C Am D
Em C
I lay down by the river
Am D Em
The shadows moved across me, inch by inch
C
And all that I heard
Am D
Was the war between the water and the bridge
Em C Am
Turn to me, turn to me, turn to me
D
Turn and drink of me
Em C Am
Or look away, look away, look away
D
And never more think of me
G C
Carry me
G Em C Am D
Carry me
Em C
I heard the many voices
Am D
Speaking to me from the depths below
Em
This ancient wound
C
This catacomb
Am D
Beneath the whited snow
Em C Am
Come to me, come to me, come to me
D
Come and drink of me
Em C Am
Or turn away, turn away, turn away
D
And never more think of me
G C
Carry me
G Em C Am D
Carry me away
Who will lay down their hammer?
Who will put up their sword?
And pause to see
The mystery
Of the Word
G C
Carry me
G C
Carry me
G C
Carry me
G Em C Am D
Carry me away
G C
Carry me
G C
Carry me
G C
Carry me
G Em C Am D
Carry me away
