Sweet and Low (Live with String Quartet)

Anywhere you go and anyone you meet

Remember that your eyes can be your enemies

I said, "well, 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"

Cause, no one's 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 home

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

Gonna make this last, gonna make this count

I don't wanna make the same mistakes

The same mistakes I already made

And I don't want you to be alone, no...

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
