[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus]
Carry me
Carry me

[Verse 2]
I heard the many voices
Speaking to me from the depths below
This ancient wound, this catacomb
Beneath the whited snow

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Come to me, come to me, come to me
Come and drink of me
Or turn away, turn away, turn away
And never more think of me
[Chorus]
Carry me
Carry me away

[Verse 3]
Who will lay down their hammer?
Who will put up their sword?
And pause to see the mystery
The mystery of the Word

[Chorus]
Carry me
Carry me
Carry me
Carry me away
Carry me
Carry me
Carry me
Carry me away...
