Carry Me Away Lyrics
Today I went & bought myself a bottle,
like we used to do,
reminded me of you.
Today I saw a train roll by the river,
blowing off the steam,
reminded me of me.
That's when I threw the bottle in the river.
That's when I started running for the train.
There's nothing that you need I can't deliver,
carry me away, carry me away.
Make it seven o nine California time,
whoever said it was a small world was either a liar or a fool,
cause it's not true.
And any promise we make is as easy to break
as the plastic people on a wedding cake so says you
but you know, I do.
I hear you thinking,
from far away.
If ya keep lying & crying & trying & drinking,
I'm gonna carry me away, carry me away.
If you think about me,
from far away,
I hope you find it with me or without me.
Carry me away, carry me away,
carry me away, carry me away,
carry me away, carry me away.
Bittersweet, A woman longs for an old lover, in spite of the fact their relationship was destructive to the both of them. Possibly one or both of them being alcoholics/addicts...
It's a poignant song, Johnette singing about a lost love, gets wonderfully passionate about "any promise we make is as easy to break as the plastic people on a wedding cake". She still wishes the best for her former lover, stating "I hope you find her with me or without me".
