From the recording Then There Were Two
Lyrics
INTO MY ARMS- Nick Cave
I don't believe in an interventionist GodBut I know, darling, that you doBut if I did I would kneel down and ask HimNot to intervene when it came to youNot to touch a hair on your headTo leave you as you areAnd if He felt He had to direct youThen direct you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord, into my armsInto my arms, O Lord, into my armsInto my arms, O Lord, into my armsInto my arms, O Lord, into my armsInto my arms, O Lord, into my armsInto my arms, O Lord, into my arms
And I don't believe in the existence of angelsBut looking at you I wonder if that's trueBut if I did I would summon them togetherAnd ask them to watch over youTo each light a candle for youTo make bright and clear your pathAnd to walk, like Christ, in grace and loveAnd guide you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord, into my armsInto my arms, O Lord, into my arms
But I believe in LoveAnd I know that you do tooAnd I believe in some kind of pathThat we can walk down, me and youSo keep your candles burningAnd make her journey bright and pureThat she will keep returningAlways and evermore
Into my arms, O Lord, into my armsInto my arms, O Lord, into my armsInto my arms, O Lord, into my arms
