Imelda May, Jools Holland - When It's My Time lyrics

Wash me in water, that flows from your side
Bathe me in blood that
That you gave when you died
Carry me over, to the other side

When it's my time, Lord when it's my time

But until then, can you hold my hand?
Don't know what I'm doing
And I don't understand help me!
I'm calling your name
Oh, hold me close, and ease my pain

Life is hard, and love's the same
Know when I hide, from my guilt and the shame
So could I just lay my head
Upon your breast?
Oh, but don't let me die, no no
Just let me rest

I'm not a saint, but I'm not the worst
Oh, yes, I'm a sinner
But I'm not the last nor the first
Deep down inside, oh you know that I'm good
And I've just done the best, Lord
Done the best that I could

Oh, I love you, yeah said 'I love you' aloud
Oh, I'm your child, Lord
And of that I'm so proud

So wrap me up, in your holy shroud
Take me home, oh but just don't take me now

Wash me in water, that flows from your side
And bathe me in blood
That you gave when you died
Carry me over, to the other side
When it's my time, Lord when it's my time

Oh, when it's my time, Lord
When it's my time mmm hm hm hmm
