Sweet and Low - Augustana

Anywhere you go, anyone you meet

Remember that your eyes can be your enemies

I said, hell is so close and heaven’s out of reach

But I ain’t giving up quite yet

I’ve got too much to lose

Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl

Hold me down, sweet and low, and I will carry you home

Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl

Hold me down, and I’ll carry you home

The rain is gonna fall, the sun is gonna shine

The wind is gonna blow, the water’s gonna rise

She said, when that day comes, look into my eyes

No one’s giving up quite yet

We’ve got too much to lose

And I’ll carry you all the way

When you say you’re fine

But you’re still young, and out of line

When all I need is to turn around

To make it last, to make it count

I ain’t gonna make the same mistakes

That put my mama in her grave

I don’t wanna be alone
