Anywhere you go, anyone you meet

Remember that your eyes can be your enemies

I said hell is so close, and heavens 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 waters gonna rise

She said, when that day comes look into my eyes

But no ones giving up quite yet, we'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 all the way

When you say you're fine

But you're still young and out of line,

When all I need's 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



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,
