[Verse 1]

On a wind that's sailing through the morning

I have cut the harness off of my heart

On a tide that's rising with the dawning

I find I belong inside the dark


[Pre-Chorus]

And when the waves roll in to cover me in a shame

I avoid another sign of the efforts made in vain

I am just another ripple in the current of an age

Another crossed out name on another wrinkled page


[Chorus]

Carry me home, carry me home

Carry me home, carry me home

Carry me home, carry me home

Carry me home, carry me home


[Verse 2]

There's a dream that tells me I am haunted

It comes to visit every fortnight or so

I wake up having lost all I ever wanted

And a bleak apparition wants what I hold


[Pre-Chorus]

And when the waves roll in to cover me in shame

I avoid another sign of the efforts made in vain

I am just another ripple in the current of an age

Another crossed out name on another wrinkled page


[Chorus]

Carry me home, carry me home

Carry me home, carry me home

Carry me home, carry me home

Carry me home, carry me home


[Bridge]

Should it disappear? Should it go away?

Would it mend the wounds I bear, the wounds of love?

Could it reappear like a familiar tale

Like a broken friendship that snuffs the moonlight above?

[Outro]

Should be fine, right?
