Carry Me Lyrics

When I was a young man I found an old dream

Was as battered and worn a one as you have ever seen

But I made it some new wings and I painted a nose

And I wished so hard up in the air I rose, singing

Carry me, carry me, carry me above the world

Carry me, carry me, carry me

And I once loved a girl

She was younger than me

Her parents kept her locked up in their life

And she was crying at night

She was wishing she could be free

'Course mostly I remember her laughing

Standing there watching us play

For a while there, the music would take her away

And she'd be singing

Carry me, carry me, carry me above the world

Carry me, carry me, carry me above the world

And then there was my mother

She was lying in white sheets there and she was waiting to die

She said if you'd just reach underneath this bed

And untie these weights

I could surely fly

She's still smiling but she's tired

She'd like to hear that last bell ring

You know if she still could she would

Stand up, and she could sing, singing

Carry me, carry me, carry me above the world

Carry me, carry me, carry me
