Gm
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
You convalesced,
you fashioned masks of twigs and clay
You cried beneath the dripping trees
Ghost song lodged in the throat of a mermaid

Chorus:
        Gm
With my voice
      F       Gm
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

Chorus:
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 the fire
You're the mist rolling off the sea
You're a distant memory
in the mind of your creator
Don't you see?

Chorus:
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
