Trouble is her only friend and he's back again

Makes her body older than it really is

She says it's high time she went away

No one's got much to say in this town

Trouble is the only way is down

Down, down

As strong as you were, tender you go

I'm watching you breathing for the last time

A song for your heart, but when it is quiet

I know what it means and I'll carry you home

I'll carry you home

If she had wings she would fly away

And another day God will give her some

Trouble is the only way is down

Down, down

As strong as you were, tender you go

I'm watching you breathing for the last time

A song for your heart, but when it is quiet

I know what it means and I'll carry you home

I'll carry you home

And they were all born pretty in New York City tonight

And someone's little girl was taken from the world tonight

Under the Stars and Stripes

As strong as you were, tender you go

I'm watching you breathing for the last time

A song for your heart, but when it is quiet

I know what it means and I'll carry you home

As strong as you were, tender you go

I'm watching you breathing for the last time

A song for your heart, but when it is quiet

I know what it means and I'll carry you home

I'll carry you home
