Carry Me Lyrics

Caught my eye

When the blinding sun of love had rendered me blind

Lips are cracked and swollen

Fallen like a soldier in the western Texas wasteland of my mind

In the footsteps of our fathers

Who set forth to drink the water to return with only dust upon their tongues

I, in my own skin, had the will to venture out again

To return to the one true love who quenched my thirst

Digging in to cross the border on the run from a woman

Who’d always done the best for me

Maybe finding out the hard way

The long and lonely road way

When love was rolling like a mighty train

I’d hear it sing to the desert wind, to carry me

Carry me away

Cocaine eyes, a sea of darkened waters, wild and uncharted

Oh but this man will never know what’s beneath those waves

Ropes are frayed and broken

Cast my line into the open sea as the sun of love is beating on my face

Wide-eyed in the world like a child on a tilt-a-whirl, trying not to scream

Maybe finding out the hard way, the long and lonely road way

When love was rolling like a mighty ship, I’d bear it’s bow against the wind, to carry me

Carry me away

When love was rolling like a mighty train

I’d hear it sing to the desert wind, to carry me

Carry me away
