Carry You Home

Sometimes, we just hears songs that touch our heart and words we find ourselves relating to. Last week, I heard a song that had this effect on me after a long time. I didn’t think I would write out the lyrics of a song ever, but I guess it deserves a mention.

The song I’m talking about is Carry You Home by James Blunt. What I like about this song and what touches me most is that even though this song talks about death – the end of life and possibly the beginning of the unknown. But, instead of portraying it just as a loss, it adds a positive feel to the song. I don’t know what it is about this song that makes this positive mark on me, but I do know that it has had a very strong impact on my heart.

I like it because I think this song focusses on the concept of love and friendship more than the concept of loss. Afterall, friendship and love are far greater than the the petty things we worry about(at least according to me). So, here are the lyrics…

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 ones 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
I’ll carry you home
I’ll carry you home

And they’re all born pretty
in New York City tonight
and someones 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
