The trouble is her only friend and he's back again. 
Makes her body older, than it really is. 
And she says it's high time she went away, 
No one's got much to say in this town.
The trouble is the only way is down, 
Down, down. 

As strong as you were, tender you go. 
I'm watching you're 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... 
The trouble is the only way is down, 
Down, down. 

As strong as you were, tender you go. 
I'm watching you're 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 were all born pretty in New York City in light, 
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're 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

As strong as you were, tender you go. 
I'm watching you're 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...
