Lyric Carrying Cathy

Her window was hung like a painting
She worried it might come to life
She stared for hours
So obsessed was I and self-absorbed that I
Didn t see that she was
Crying

There was always someone carrying
There was always someone carrying
Always someone s carrying Cathy

There were times when I d find myself saying that:
"Friends, you don t understand"
And she s different when it s just me and her, and I
Closed the door and I tried to hang on and she
Sank into the dark
I was over my head

There was always someone carrying
There was always someone carrying
Always someone s carrying Cathy

We gave you everything
You could have been anything
We gave you everything
You could have done anything

But to imagine a fall
With no one at all to catch you
There d always been someone

Then one night she climbed into the picture frame
Out in the frozen air
And out of sight

Woke up sad from this dream I ve been having
The last couple nights or so
With her father and brothers we re all at the funeral
Carrying a box through the rain
Then somebody says that it s always been this way

Always someone s carrying
There was always someone carrying
Always someone s carrying Cathy
