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 in your head
leave you as you are
if he felt he had to direct you
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
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
for to each burn a candle for you
to make bright and clear your path
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
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 a journey bright and pure
that you keep returning always and
evermore
into my arms oh lord
into my arms oh lord
into my arms oh lord
into my arms
(nick cave)
