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

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 and i’ll carry you home,

i’ll carry you home.

and their all going crazy in new york city at night

and someone’s little girl

was taken from the world to light

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.
