Carry Me Home
A cold late December day
The sky is high and blue
Banners and buntings and people between
A boat arrives
Your black box comes swinging and freezes the scene
Your wings inside, your lullaby
When you carry me home
Hold me tight so I don't fall down
In a world of my own
Where the demons will cut you up
When you carry me home
Hold me tight so I don't fall down
In a world of my own
Where the demons will cut you
Upstairs another day
Swinging over the sea
You wanted a chair, but I wouldn't pay
Sorry, hey
I'd buy you a hundred if heaven would wait
But it's too late, you're past the gate
When you carry me home
Hold me tight so I don't fall down
In a world of my own
Where the demons will cut you up
When you carry me home
Hold me tight so I don't fall down
In a world of my own
Where the demons will cut you
How graceful you glide
Sounding hollow inside
Your silk dress turns the whole room gold
I'm scratching a lie, it's just grit in my eye
But please don't ask to see my soul
When you carry me home
Hold me tight so I don't fall down
In a world of my own
Where the demons will cut you up
When you carry me home
Hold me tight so I don't fall down
In a world of my own
(Take me home to die)
(Take me home to die)
When you carry me, carry me, carry me home
When you carry me, carry me, carry me home
The sky is high and blue
Banners and buntings and people between
A boat arrives
Your black box comes swinging and freezes the scene
Your wings inside, your lullaby
When you carry me home
Hold me tight so I don't fall down
In a world of my own
Where the demons will cut you up
When you carry me home
Hold me tight so I don't fall down
In a world of my own
Where the demons will cut you
Upstairs another day
Swinging over the sea
You wanted a chair, but I wouldn't pay
Sorry, hey
I'd buy you a hundred if heaven would wait
But it's too late, you're past the gate
When you carry me home
Hold me tight so I don't fall down
In a world of my own
Where the demons will cut you up
When you carry me home
Hold me tight so I don't fall down
In a world of my own
Where the demons will cut you
How graceful you glide
Sounding hollow inside
Your silk dress turns the whole room gold
I'm scratching a lie, it's just grit in my eye
But please don't ask to see my soul
When you carry me home
Hold me tight so I don't fall down
In a world of my own
Where the demons will cut you up
When you carry me home
Hold me tight so I don't fall down
In a world of my own
(Take me home to die)
(Take me home to die)
When you carry me, carry me, carry me home
When you carry me, carry me, carry me home
