Carry Me Away
© 2024 Glen Veenstra
Somebody wins,
Somebody loses
The tide rushes in—and then slips away
It covers the sins, covers the bruises
Carry me away
Carry me away——

What’s left for a man
Whose kingdom is empty?
Whose castles of sand return to the sea?
Again and again
The waves are like mercy
Carry me away
Carry me away——

Carry me
Carry me away
And for a moment let me stay
Carry me
Carry me away
And for a moment let me stay
Carry me away (Instr Br)

Carry me
Carry me away
And for a moment let me stay
Carry me
Carry me away
And for a moment let me stay
Carry me away
Carry me away
Carry me away
Carry me away
