lyrics

"Carry Me Away"

Music and Lyrics by James Hyde

Arranged by The Future Laureates



I would spend every night

in a smoke-filled room,

if it meant I could catch

just one breath of you.

And I would wake every morning

at four o’clock,

if it meant we’d have a chance to talk

And I would cut nine of my fingers off,

leaving just one there,

if it meant I would get

to run it through your hair.



And if the ocean became

a bed of coals,

I would crawl across

so I could just be close to you.



And I would pack all your worries

in a cardboard box,

and send that box

straight to the sun.

And I would get written notice
of delivery,

if it meant you could wrap your arms

around me.



And if the ocean became

a bed of coals,

I would crawl across

so I could just be close to you.



I wouldn’t need a thing if you’d just carry me away.

Every time I sing it’s so you’ll carry me away.

(I miss you)

I’d provide the ring if you’d just carry me away.

(like crazy)

Yes, I’d provide the ring if you’d just carry me away.

(I miss you)
