Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds – Jesus Alone: Lyrics and Music Video
Jesus Alone Lyrics
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
She convalesce, she fashioned masks of clay and twigs
You cried beneath the dripping trees
Ghost song lodged in the throat of a mermaid
With my voice
I am calling you
You’re a young man waking
Covered in blood that is not yours
You’re a woman in a yellow dress
Surrounded by a charm of hummingbirds
You’re a young girl full of forbidden energy
Flickering in the gloom
You’re 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’re an african doctor harvesting tear ducts
You believe in god, but you get no special dispensation for this belief now
You’re an old man sitting by a fire, hear the mist rolling off the sea
You’re 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
Let us sit together in the dark 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
