sweet and low

anywhere you go

anyone you meet

remember that your eyes can be your enemies

i said

hell is so close and heaven's out of reach

but i ain't giving up quite yet

i've got too much to lose

hold me down

sweet and low

little girl

hold me down

sweet and low

and i will carry you home

hold me down

sweet and low

little girl

hold me down

and i'll carry you home

the rain is gonna fall

the sun is gonna shine

the wind is gonna blow

the water's gonna rise

she said

when that day comes

look into my eyes

no one's giving up quite yet

we've got too much to lose

and i'll carry you all the way

when you say you're fine

but you're still young

and out of line

when all i need's to turn around

to make it last

to make it count

i ain't gonna make the same mistakes

that put my mama in her grave

i don't wanna be alone
