There are the heavy piano chords followed by a voice worn down to the singer’s essence:
I don’t believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did, I would kneel down and ask him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Will not to touch a hair on your head
Leave you as you are
If he felt he had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
Into my arms, oh, Lord
Into my arms, oh, Lord
Into my arms, oh, Lord
Into my arms
There is despair, loneliness, the alienation from knowing there is no God, yet there is faith and a longing for desire. It is as if the very longing for love can save us.
This is more than a love song. It is a man deep inside trying to find a way out. Hear this song once and you will play it again and again and hear it in the darkest moments and the brightest ones too.
