The Gospel Lyrics

My sweet love, I'll take you there.
Comin' for to carry you home.
I'll take you down to the water.
Comin' for to carry you home.
No more weary, no more tired.
Comin' for to carry you home.

My sweet love,
I will take you there.
Comin' for to carry you home.
I will take you home.
I will take you home.
My darling, I will shelter you.
Comin' for to carry you home.
I'll lay you down still water.
Comin' for to carry you home.
No more weary, no more tired.
Comin' for to carry you home.
Comin' for to carry you home.
I will take you home, I will take you home.
I will take you home, I will take you home.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Courtney Taylor-Taylor's vocals are very similar to Thom Yorke's of Radiohead in this song.

So many people consider the Dandys to be pretentious and inauthentic but this song feels so pure and honest. This song puts me at peace, the things we'd like to promise our loves.

Great song, very religious sounding and beautiful... very Thom Yorke-like also, like barnetas said.
