Raise Me (Demo)

(album: Little Bastards - 2020)

Honey, won't you raise me
Bring me up right
See me down here on my knees
I'm in a bad way and you know why
So, get down here next to me

Send me a whisper, in the morning
Show your shadow by sundown
Any sign that, in time
Things may turn around

You and I can go where the wind takes us
You and I can go away
You and I can go where the waves break us
You and I would be okay

'Cause you're my holy communion
But I don't got a dime to spare
I pledge allegiance, I been trusting
On your good will that you care

'Cause there's a pushing and a pulling
You know I feel so ill at ease
You see the highway man hides his dirty hands
But his gaze is set on me

Oh please don't hurt me
If you don't have to
Not a lot of good it'd do
You know I suffer long
Don't make it linger on
When all I need is you

You and I can go where the wind takes us
You and I can go away
You and I can go where the waves break us
You and I would be okay

You and I can move where the ground shakes us
You and I can move around
You and I can sleep where the sun sets us
You and I would sleep so sound

You and I can go where the wind takes us
You and I can go away
You and I can go where the waves break us
You and I would be okay

You and I can move where the ground shakes us
You and I can move around
You and I can sleep where the sun sets us
You and I would sleep so sound
