Jesus Alone Lyrics

You fell from the sky
Crash landed in a field
Near the river Adur
Flowers spring from the ground
Lambs burst from the wombs of their mothers
In a hole beneath the bridge
She convalesce, she fashioned masks of twigs and clay
You cried beneath the dripping trees
Ghost song lodged in the throat of a mermaid

With my voice
I am calling you

You're a young man waking
Covered in blood that is not yours
You're a woman in a yellow dress
Surrounded by a charm of hummingbirds
You're a young girl full of forbidden energy
Flickering in the gloom
You're a drug addict lying on your back
In a Tijuana hotel room

With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you

You're an African doctor harvesting tear ducts
You believe in God, but you get no special dispensation for this belief now
You're an old man sitting by a fire, hear the mist rolling off the sea
You're a distant memory in the mind of your creator, don't you see?

With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you

Let us sit together until the moment comes

With my voice
I am calling you

With my voice, I am calling you

What is the Meaning of Jesus Alone?

Diving into the depths of existential musings, Nick Cave takes us on a poetic joyride through life's eerie landscapes. "Jesus Alone" is like a surrealist painting made of words, where everyone from a blood-covered young man to an old man by the fire gets their cameo. Cave uses his haunting voice as a spiritual GPS, calling out to souls scattered across grim scenarios. It’s less about finding Jesus in the traditional sense and more about finding snippets of divinity in life's dark corners—sort of like looking for your glasses when they've been on your head the whole time. Whether it’s through the eyes of a drug addict or an African doctor, every line is a breadcrumb on this existential trail. So, buckle up and let Nick be your guide in this beautifully bleak scavenger hunt for meaning!
