Carry Me Again

(album: Love's A Prima Donna - 1976)

When I woke up, when I opened up my eyes
Drinking the sun without blinking
And when I reached out, when I reached out for a sign
Holding a gun without sinking

(Ooh it was a fine feeling)
(Ooh it was a mighty fine feeling)
Then I thought about the younger days when I was looking for a friend
Thought about the way my mama would carry me to the end

Oh mama, will you carry me again?
Oh mama, will you carry me again?
Oh mama, will you carry me again?
My eyes are blind without my mama

When I looked up, when I focused on the sky
Touching its heart but not stinging
And then I took it and I realized it might
Shake like a bell without ringing

(Ooh it was a fine feeling)
(Ooh it was a mighty fine feeling)
Then I thought about the younger days when I had no one to fight
Thought about the way my mama would carry me through the night

Oh mama, will you carry me again?
Oh mama, will you carry me again?
Oh mama, will you carry me again?
My eyes are blind without my mama

Oh mama, will you carry me again?
Oh mama, will you carry me again?
Oh mama, will you carry me again?
My eyes are blind without my mama

Carry me, mama
Carry me, mama
Carry me, mama
Carry me, mama
