Carry On

(albüm: Homeward Bound - 2015)

I wish I was dead or drunk or deceived
Like so many good friends of mine
Because time it does kill the last of my will
To see through my reckless eyes
And if you should go yours and I should go mine
We'll meet in heaven or hell
'Cause we never cared for much in between
Of the world we desperately dwell

And oooh, How I loved you in the dawn
Oooh, and our souls they drift apart
And oooh, we must carry on again
Oooh, carry on my dearest friends

And the moon shines on the porch of the train
As I bid New Orleans goodbye
It reminds me again of the man that I am
And the thought brings tears to my eyes
And the distance between your heart and mine don't lessen the love we share
So if I should fail or die or prevail
My fate is yours to bear

And oooh, how I loved you in the dawn
Oooh, and our souls they drift apart
Oooh, and we must carry on again
Oooh, carry on my dearest friend

Oh I'm weary and tired
I've nearly expired
As the bottle's killed in the end
And your face comes to mind
I'll smile and sigh
As I ride on again

And oooh, how I loved you in the dawn
Oooh, and our souls they drift apart
Oooh, we must carry on again
Oooh, carry on my dearest friend
