Sing Me Sweetly - The Districts

gave your body to the church

took your clothes and left you naked

tore a war bus down somebody’s arm

it would die alone and tainted

we came as nothing

we’re bare back children

fade to dust …

with our thought

went to the bank on the core last hour

to cash in this lousy life i bought

sing me sweetly swing me deeply

walk through rain as this cold world falls

sing me sweetly swing me deeply

walk through rain as this cold world falls

sing me sweetly swing me deeply

where’s this world like walking through the rain

sing me sweetly swing me deeply

wind vails and mothers daughters

may i ask you to be alone oh

i just see them shaking oh scared to go on

i don’t know when i close my eyes

i don’t think i’ll have her by my side

when i die i won’t be no one here

i’m bound to be someone greater

oh and i swear i come up this mountain

wish she had my hand you can climb with me

sing me sweetly swing me deeply

walk through rain as this cold world falls

sing me sweetly swing me deeply

walk through rain as this cold world falls

sing me sweetly swing me deeply

where’s this world like walking through the rain

sing me sweetly swing me deeply
