Trouble is her only friend and he's back again Makes her body older than it really is And she says it's high time she went away No ones got much to say in this time Trouble is the only way is down, down, down As strong as you were Tender you got I'm watching you breathing For the last time A song for your heart But when it is quiet I know what it means And I'll carry you home I'll carry you home If she had wings she would fly away And another day god will give her some Trouble is the only way is down,down,down As strong as you were Tender you got I'm watching you breathing for the last time A song for your heart But when it is quiet I know what it means I'll carry you home I'll carry you home And they all want pretty New York City lights And summers little girl has been taken from the world tonight But the stars and stripes As strong as you were Tender you got I'm watching you breathing for the last time A song for your heart But when it is quiet I know what it means And i'll carry you home As strong as you were Tender you got I'm watching you breathing for the last time A song for your heart But when it is quiet I know what it means And I'll carry you home I'll carry you home
