Carry You Home Lyrics

Cover art for Carry You Home lyrics by James Blunt

I think he is talking about a girl who went to war and was killed. She was very strong to fight for her country but now as she dies she goes tenderly and James is going to carry her home. She dies "Under the Stars and Stripes" in other words she was an american. THe song is also saying that she is going to heaven and she will be an angel.

i watched the music video for this song, and it IS about a person who went to war, but the genders are switched, so its a man that dies, and his girlfriend/wife gets the news at the end of the video. but i don't understand it because she is not "taken from the world," as james says she is. :/

interesting ideas, that's actually a pretty good thought of it.
