Carry Me Home

(album: The Winding Way - 2023)

Carry me home to see my baby
Carry me home to see my girl
Carry me home to see my baby
Carry me home to see my girl

Every day since I've been gone
I'm counting down the days since I've seen you
A lot of times gone by, babe
I fear a change in me, it's true
And after all the pain I've seen, babe
If I close my eyes, I'll be home soon

So carry me home to see my baby
Carry me home to see my girl
Carry me home to see my baby
Carry me home to see my girl

Will your little eyes still remember me, oh
Will I even recognise you?
I wonder how much you've grown, babe
Will I remember how to carry you?
So big old wings fly me home, babe
Fly me home to hold

And carry me home to see my baby
Carry me home to see my girl
Carry me home to see my baby
Carry me home to see my girl

This old photograph is fading, you see
Without you everything seems cold
The winters here are oh, so long
Just some worn-out boots to call my home, yeah

So carry me home to see my baby
Carry me home to see my girl
Carry me home to see my baby
Carry me home to see my girl

This beaten land won't help me stand
I lie as I dream of you
My ears are ringing, all I hear you singing
If I close my eyes, I'll be home soon
If I close my eyes, I'll be home soon
