NOTES ABOUT SONG: some of the words in the CD flap are wrong, and
the words below are what Dan actually sings. Matt and Steve both
play picking patterns on acoustic guitars while Charlie plays basic
chords on the piano.

Carry me
Your love is wider than my need could ever be
Come to me
I will walk along your shoreline
Feel your crashing waves sing in time
With the pounding of my heart
CHORUS

Come down, pour out on me

Come down, pour out on me

Could I know you as well as you know me
Constantine
We will travel faster, farther
Than these legs could ever trustworthy be

Come down, pour out on me
(2)
Come down, pour out on me

On me, on me
