Letra de Lift Me Gently

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 of 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 it's anxious and it's 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 of 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
