Carried Lyrics by KT Tunstall

Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon (Deluxe Edition)

2013

[Verse 1]
Oh, tell me how to let it go
Just like this
In the medicated bliss
Is it still a terrifying overload
A stultifying open road?
If I pay your ferry boat
Will you carry my load?
[Verse 2]
And I'll paint all the ways in which I've failed
Set my glories alight
And still fight you tooth and nail
But my youth is screaming
The door never really shuts
Despite agoraphobic ifs and buts
You're close to going through
Will you carry me too?
[Chorus]
And I know that I have it all in the same way as you do
But we all take a unique fall in the final scene
To a violin string or a crashing train
We all need somebody to teach us how to be carried
[Verse 3]
Oh, do you see Eden through the gates?
Who has the list? Has this all been uber fate?
Is every move a known footprint fossilised
A rare remake realised?
And if you fall too soon, I'll carry you
[Chorus]
And I know that I have it all in the same way as you do
But we all take a unique fall in the final scene
To a violin string or a crashing train
In the pounding rain and the thunder rolls in
And the vertigo comes and, comes and comes and
Comes and comes
We each need somebody to teach us how to be carried
