Crosby & Nash - Carry Me Lyrics
words and music by David Crosby 1975 Staysail Music (BMI)When I was a young man I found an old dreamwas as battered and worn a one as you have ever seenBut I made it some new wings and I painted a noseand I wished so hard up in the air I rose, singingCarry me, carry me, carry me above the worldCarry me, carry me, carry meAnd I once loved a girlshe was younger than meHer parents kept her locked up in their lifeand she was crying at nightshe was wishing she could be free`Course mostly I remember her laughingstanding there watching us playFor a while there, the music would take her awayand shed be singingCarry me, carry me, carry me above the worldCarry me, carry me, carry me above the worldAnd then there was my mothershe was lying in white sheets there/and she was waiting to dieShe said if youd just reach underneath this bedand untie these weights,I could surely flyShes still smiling but shes tired,shed like to hear that last bell ringYou know if she still could she wouldstand up, and she could sing, singingCarry me, carry me, carry me above the worldCarry me, carry me, carry meDrums:Russ KunkelBass:Leland SklarPiano:Craig DoergeElectric six- and twelve-string guitars:David CrosbyAcoustic Guitar:James Taylor
