Gary Brooker - Lead Me to the Water lyrics

(Brooker) Take me by the hand Lead me to the water I will be your lamb Heading for the slaughter I've been away from home too long But I still taste the tears And when I'm in some stranger's arms I still feel you near Now if they ask me how I feel I smile and say 'Just fine!' But deep inside this lonely heart I know you're still mine Take me by the hand Lead me from the fire We'll fly up from this land We're going to get higher So this is where the end begins The parting of the ways Somebody's calling me up there I hear it in the waves Take me by the hand Lead me to the water I will be your lamb I'm ready for the slaughter Take me by the hand Lead me from the fire We'll fly up from this land I'm dying to get higher
