Carry Me Home

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Oh Teresa the evening folds its hands

The candles bend their heads

I kept your ribbon in a psalter's page

The organ hums alone

Pre-Chorus

Mother used to hum your name

Mother used to hum your name

Softer than a passing bell

Softer than a passing bell

Chorus

Ohhh Teresa

Ohhh Teresa

Carry me home

Carry me home

Ohhh Teresa

Ohhh Teresa

Sing me to sleep

Sing me to sleep

Verse 2

The plaster saint has lost her painted eyes

Rain taps the window glass

I was small and certain you were near

I was small and certain you were near

Pre-Chorus

Somebody still hums your name

Somebody still hums your name

Low beneath the chapel hymn

Low beneath the chapel hymn

Chorus

Ohhh Teresa

Ohhh Teresa

Carry me home

Carry me home

Ohhh Teresa

Ohhh Teresa

Sing me to sleep

Sing me to sleep

Bridge

Sanctus sanctus sanctus

The rafters hold their breath

Sanctus sanctus sanctus

I am a child again

I am a child again

Chorus

Ohhh Teresa

Ohhh Teresa

Carry me home

Carry me home

Ohhh Teresa

Ohhh Teresa

Sing me to sleep

Sing me to sleep
