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
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O 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
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, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O 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
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

| Jacksonstat (Columbus OH) | Posted: Aug 31, 2006 - 13:18 This is a new Nick Cave song for me. I've loved everything I've heard from NC and this song is no exception. Thanks RP. |

| TobalMoreno (2,981 mi Due East (Sitting on a Catchbasin)) | Posted: Aug 31, 2006 - 13:15 this song is f'ing terrible, i am scared and confused. don't know much about this guy, but "Red Right Hand," one of my favorite songs, has just gone way down on my list. |

Darn, I don't believe in any god, so I figured I should come along on my behaf and totally smote this song. Oh and ignoring the lyrics I would still not care for this song at all. |
| cdcassaw (KC) | Posted: Aug 31, 2006 - 13:14 Absolutely the worst thing I have ever heard! |

Great song.  |

I agree... |
| thefoodoflove (Sydney) | Posted: Jul 18, 2006 - 18:33 Nick Cave sung this unaccompanied at Michael Huchences funeral.Not a dry eye. This is simply beautiful. |

It's amusing to me that I find the lyrics re-hashed and boring and everyone else likes it. |
