Jessi Colter - Please Carry Me Home lyrics

When the blood curdlin' scream

Of the fear in my vains

Pierces the darkness circlin' my brain

When the pain in my soul is too great to explain

I reach out for you, I'm callin' your name

Lord, please have mercy on my troubled soul

You keep me together when there's nothing to hold

Lord, please have mercy, I've nowhere to go

When the temptation is over, please carry me home

Would the jewel of deception rest in the crown

Upon the heaven, the tempter who's hand keeps me down

Living so carlessly, so easy to do

But now that I'm paying, I running to you

Lord, please have mercy on my troubled soul

You keep me together when there's nothing to hold

Oh, Lord, please have mercy, I've nowhere to go

When the temptation is over, please carry me home
