Standard (EADGBE)

Come and take me down

The dark beyond

And take me there

Where I come from

Take me down to the place where I will kneel

And let me lay my shadow down

In through the eyes of a child’s inner me

No pain to heal my bloodied brow

There is no rain to save this silent dawn

There is no rain to save at all

There is no rain to save this silent ground

There is no rain to save at all

Chorus

Oh father take me

To where I lay me down

On hallowed ground

Oh the sky is falling

And I don’t know where my home is now

My hallowed ground

Oh and can you take me

For I have tasted hallowed ground

Oh all around

Bridge

Father, do you hear me

This pain will not cry out loud

Father, I know you hear me

My head is bludgeoned but unbound

Chorus
