Carry Me

Carry Me - David Crosby/Graham Nash

When I was a young man

I found an old dream

It was as battered and worn a one

As you have ever seen

I invented some new wings

And I painted a nose

I wished so hard up in the air

I rose singing

Carry me carry me carry me

Above the world

Carry me carry me carry me

And I once loved a girl

She was younger than me

Her parents kept her locked up in their lives

And she was crying

She was wishing she could be free

Of course I mostly remember her laughing

Standing there and watching us play

For a while then the music

Would take her away and she'd be singing

Carry me carry me carry me

Above this world

Carry me carry me carry me

Above the world

Then there was my mother

She was lying in white sheets there

And she was waiting to die

She said if you just reach underneath this bed

And untie these weights

I could surely fly

She's still smiling but she's tired

She'd like to hear that last bell ring

You know if she still could she would

Stand up she would sing

Carry me carry me carry me

Above the world

Carry me carry me
