Imelda May

When It's My Time (feat. Jools Holland)

Imelda May


Wash me in water, that flows from your side
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

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

I'm not a saint, but I'm not the worst
Yes, I'm a sinner, but I'm not the last or the first
Deep down inside, oh you know that I'm good
And I just done the best, done the best that I could

Oh I love you
Said 'I love you' out loud
And I'm your child
And that I'm so proud
So wrap me up in your holy shroud
Oh take me home, 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
