I carry you with me

A ghost inside

And in these shattered arms

You're still alive

I carry you with me

A holy shrine

And dogs and angels follow

Right behind

Could I be walking higher

Could I be right beside her?

The bones they buried

Will feed the trees

But every word you ever spoke

Is still in me

Could I be walking higher

Could I be right beside her?

And I will feel for you in the music

And I will send that river home

And I will cry for you sometimes

When the night is down

And I raise my head up to the mountains

Talk to the birds and I fly

'Cause the spirit lives on

When the body dies

And could I be walking higher

Could I be right beside her?

Could I be walking higher

Could I be right beside her?
