CARRY

 

Daylight 

Window will not rise 

Hold tight 

 

Day's ripe 

Time hangs heavy on the vine 

Let's make wine 

 

You and I were born not a second too soon 

Hanging on a vine in the vineyard moon 

Oh, how soon I'd turn and say 

You're my everything, hand everything to me 

 

And I will carry the weight 

I will carry the weight 

I will carry the weight 

And I won't let you have to again 

 

Twilight 

Children's voices fight 

Hold tight 

 

Delights 

Simmering so slowly in the pan 

So come on in and get it 

 

They were all born not a second too late 

Laughing up a storm by the silver lake 

Oh, what more could we create 

Knowing when your arms begin to ache 

 

That I will carry the weight 

I will carry the weight 

I will carry the weight 

And I won't let you have to again 

 

And if you cannot be my rock, then be my water 

If you cannot be my savior, then just be my Valentine 

Take this heart-shaped box, fill it up 

With your wants and all your worries 

Your frights and all your fantasies 

And you just take the ring 

Hand me every other thing

 

And I will carry the weight 

I will carry the weight 

I will carry the weight 

And I won't let you have to again
