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
