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 are tender you go. 
I'm watching you breathing for the last time. 
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 are tender you go. 
I'm watching your breathing for the last time. 
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 all were 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 are tender you go. 
I'm watching you breathing for the last time. 
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.
