Em Cmaj7 I lay down by the river Am Cmaj7 Em The shadows moved across me, inch by inch Cmaj7 And all that I heard Am Cmaj7 Was the war between the water and the bridge Em Turn to me (turn to me) Cmaj7 turn to me (turn to me) Am turn to me (turn to me) Cmaj7 Em Turn and drink of me Em (Look away) Or look away, Cmaj7 (Look away) look away, Am (Look away) look away C G And never more think of me Chorus: G C Carry me G Em 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 and drink of me Or turn away, turn away, turn away And never more think of me Chorus: G C Carry me G Em Carry me Cmaj7 A-way Who will lay down their hammer? Who will put up their sword?
