"When The Lord" lyrics

"When The Lord"
(from "Self Portrait" soundtrack)

Let me go back
To when I was young
Here, I was born
Here, I will die lonesome
Let there be light
Let there be love
Hear the bells
Ringin' our song

Wake me, wake me, wake me up, my darling
When the Lord has descended on us
All the worries that you carried with you
They are lost in a warm embrace

Timelessness
Far away
From the land
Where love is shame
And shame is love, a prison
Away from the dark
Snow-covered hearts
Softly, lay your hands on me

Wake me, wake me, wake me up, my darling
When the Lord has descended on us
All the worries that you carried with you
They are lost in a warm embrace
Timelessness
