Patty Griffin - Carry Me Lyrics

Patty Griffin Lyrics

"Carry Me"

Maybe they come by land
Maybe they come by sea
Maybe they've already come
Maybe they come by me

Slipping into the twilight
I ride the broken wave tonight
An old song on the radio
You knew a long time ago
An old song on the radio
Going out over the ocean

Carry
Carry

Maybe it's World War One
Maybe it's World War Three
Maybe it's Vietnam
Maybe we're on TV

Falling into the tall grass
Melting into the tall glass
Spilling out over the lip
And into the ocean, into the ocean

Carry
Carry
Carry me

Over the ocean, over the ocean
Over the ocean, over the ocean
Over the sea, carry me
Over the sea, carry me

Maybe I've come so far
Maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm dead or alive
Maybe I'm none of these

Just an old song on the radio
Someone put on a long time ago
Going out over the ocean
Over and over the ocean
Over and over the ocean
Over and over the ocean
Over and over the ocean
Over and over the ocean
Over and over the ocean
Over and over the ocean
Over and over the ocean
Over and over the ocean
Over and over the ocean
Over and over the ocean
