If this river be my death bed,
Made by the madness of this man,
And my words to him be thank you,
Would the heavens understand?

All my life I´ve been a good girl,
Every night I´ve said my prayers
And I hope that Jesus heard me
Through all my tears.

Hears my angels come to take me.
They are haloed in the light,
But I wish they´d touch me softly,
They´re aggressive and they´re uptight.

Lift me gently
Or leave me where I am.
I thought you´d be the hand if god.
But you´re just the same as him.

Lift me gently.
Please not with human touch.
Christ knows I´ve had my share alive.
And it never felt like love

So I´m face down in this river
And my body´s cold and useless
And the angels pull at my soul
But I´m anxious and I´m nervous
And they tell me,

“You´re not the only one who waits for their delivery,
And you´re world´s too full of lonely souls.
And we´re rushed off our feet”,
But I say, please..

Lift me gently.
Or leave me where I am.
I thought you´d be the hand if god.
But you´re just the same as him.
Lift me gently.

Please not with human touch.
Christ knows I´ve had my share alive
And it never felt like love
Lift me gently
Lift me gently
