Carry You Away

And how I remember
It was a windy day
In a cold and lost September

And you were waiting by
The street of alibis
Looking to hand out a waiver

You just smiled and me and cried
'Let me sing you a lullaby
'And I'll make you happy like a baby'

Oh and I let you in
Under my fragile skin
A siren's song for you to sing.

In the waking of the dawn
I reached for you, but you had gone
And I smelled the memory
Of the flowers in your hair

As the light grew, I knew
I never again would see you
Oh, the morning's come to carry you away

And oh, I see the light drifting across your pillow
And I close my eyes and fly out the window
For you are calling for me, calling from the night
Though I am lost, I am lost here in the light

Oh, lost here in the light
Oh, calling from the night

In the waking of the dawn
I reached for you, but you had gone
And I smelled the memory
Of the flowers in your hair

As the light grew, I knew
I never again would see you
Oh, the morning's come to carry you away
