Carried Away
Companion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're a sunset over velvet hills
Soft as lavender and rain
Golden sky dressed in daffodils
Smile as sweet as sugar cane

You know, I

I've got so much to say
I'll take my time
I could go on for days
Oh, you know I
Get carried away

You're the ballet of a starry night
Pirouetting with the wind
River winding through the countryside
A mystery around the bend

I've got so much to say
I'll take my time
I could go on for days
Oh, you know I
Get carried away

I get carried away

I've got so much to say (carried away)
I could go on for days

I've got so much to say
I'll take my time
I could go on for days
Oh, you know I

I've got so much to say
I'll take my time
I could go on for days
Oh, you know I
Get carried away





I get carried away
I get carried away
