The Carry Lyrics by Arliss Nancy

Simple Machines

2011

I've been calling your name
Lonely, looking for the answer
I've got nobody left to blame
But myself, but myself
We was burning at both ends
Honey, we hit the ground running
And never looked back, no, no
That was when we was younger
Before the river banks grew
Too damn wide to cross
The light in the wind might carry
Carry me on back home
The hour is late, and I'd like to stay
But I can't, so I gotta go
Break and the steps might falter
She said I ain't here for window dressing
Keep your steps until I come back around
Well, I've been hiding my face
I've been blacking out in taverns
I've got no money left to waste
But I can, if I find it
We was burning at both ends
Honey, the highway kept running
And never came back, no, no
That was when we was younger
Before the country side
Grew too damn wide to cross
The light in the wind might carry
Carry me on back home
The hour is late, and I'd like to stay
But I can't, so I gotta go
Break and the step might falter
She said I ain't here for window dressing
Keep your steps until I come back around
So won't you call me
On your way back home from work
Before the day drinks take effect
Before the night starts closing in
I've been calling your name
Looking for the answer
I've got nobody left to blame
But myself, but myself
There's a light in wind
We was facing the odds
We were stepping between
What we knew wasn't wrong
She was calling to me
I was saying
I'm already far gone
