Carry Me

lyrics

CARRY ME

Said she came a ridin out
From old Silverado

And a ghostly white

The people stared

Pretty blues eyes just like
The skies of Colorado
She wore a red camellia
In her hair
Then she came around

The edge of town

Sitting high upon her saddle
Silver bells on her pony’s head
We fought back the tears
In a losing battle
When I remembered
What she once said

Chorus:
“I don’t want to fade away

Not like some little star

I don’t want to fade away

So carry me wherever you are”

Said they saw her late last night
Outside of Millie’s bar

But she left long before it closed
Found a red camellia
With a note layin in the yard

Said “Tell him I’m someone he knows”

Chorus
“And I don’t want to fade away

Not like some little star

I don’t want to fade away

So carry me wherever you are”

Cause there’s trouble on the left
Trouble on the right

Whiskey in your blood

Fever in the night
Things that you can’t do
Things that go undone

And know you made me cry
Like no other one
And know you made me laugh
Know you made me see
I can do for you

What you did for me
No matter where you are
No matter how far

Oh carry me, carry me,
Carry me, carry me
Oh carry me.
