Into My Arms Lyrics - The Boatman's Call - Nick Cave

I don't believe in an interventionist God 

But I know darling, that you do 

But if I did I would kneel down and ask him 

Not to intervene when it came to you 

Oh, not to touch a hair on your head 

Leave you as you are 

If he felt he had to direct you 

Then direct you into my arms 

Into my arms, oh Lord 

Into my arms, oh Lord 

Into my arms, oh Lord 

Into my arms 

And I don't believe in the existence of angels 

But looking at you I wonder if that's true 

But if I did I would summon them together 

And ask them to watch over you 

And to each burn a candle for you 

To make bright and clear your path 

And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love 

And guide you into my arms 

Into my arms, oh Lord 

Into my arms, oh Lord 

Into my arms, oh Lord 

Into my arms 

But I believe in love 

And I know that you do too 

And I believe in some kind of path 

That we can walk down, me and you 

So keep your candles burning 

Make her journey bright and pure 

That she will keep returning 

Always and evermore 

Into my arms, oh Lord 

Into my arms, oh Lord 

Into my arms, oh Lord 

Into my arms
