Carry Me Home Lyrics

Under the orange sky at the edge of the night
All the people in the town gonna carry me down
Down into the river where I lay my head
Oh, won't you take me down?
Lay my body in the water and I close my eyes

They gonna carry me home
Gonna carry me home
To your open arms
To your open arms
They gonna carry me home
Gonna carry me home
To your open arms
To your open arms

Now I can see through the river to the setting sun
And when I fall asleep, they're never gonna wake me up
Oh, pretty girl, I'm coming home to you
I'm gonna see you see soon
Close my eyes, let the river come and sweep me up

They gonna carry me home
Gonna carry me home
To your open arms
To your open arms
They gonna carry me home
Gonna carry me home
To your open arms
To your open arms

All the people gonna carry me home to you
All the people gonna carry me home to you
All the people gonna carry me home to you
All the people gonna carry me home to you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
