Magda Hiller: Music

Carry Me Away

(Magda Hiller)
Magda A. Hiller

After a year of not writing, post dog attack that took out part of my lower lip, came 'Carry Me Away'.

I don't know from where my songs come but it feels as though they just come, streaming (on a slow band) from somewhere above. Not a religious experience, just from above.


Carry Me Away


Many's the time I've sinned

Bound to do it again

As many are the good deeds I have done

Sure never meant to harm no one


Few are my enemies

If they even exist today

So I will not be afraid

When the angels come to carry me away


Long is this road I choose

Paved with these walkin blues

As long as the eye can see

Just beyond is where you might find me


Wrapped inside my baby's arms

Blessed where I lay

So I will not be afraid

When the angels come to carry me away

No I will not be afraid

When the angels come to carry me away


Silent wheels roll through the darkness

As the mourners kneel down to pray


Life is full of grace

See the laugh lines on this face

Filled as my heart is true

With the love I have for you


Somethin honest and real

That I can show each day

So I will not be afraid

When the angels come to carry me away

No I will not be afraid

When the angels come to carry me away
