Jesus Alone Lyrics - Nick Cave

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
