Carry Me Home
Rose Falcon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn my back, I run from you.
Close my eyes, I deny the truth.
Still I sail in that old wooden pue.
Say my prayers, take my communion.
Days go by when my feaith is strong, but Lord those nights, I get too far gone.
In my head is a center song, just a hollow hellelujah
Oh, I still believe.
Oh, in the promise wide and deep
Love is a river gonna carry me home, no it don't matter where I go.
Love is a mountain, I'm a rolling stone.
I come round before too long.
Love is a river gonna carry me, carry me home
The streets I walk, they're just painted gold.
Rain comes down, red turn black as coal.
No one here is gonna save my soul.
I've gotta make my way back to ya
Oh, I still believe.
Oh, you're waiting there for me
Love is a river gonna carry me home, no it don't matter where I go.
Love is a mountain, I'm a rolling stone.
I come round before too long.
Love is a river gonna carry me, carry me home
Just a few more weary days and oh, I'll fly away
Love is a river gonna carry me home, no it don't matter where I go.
Love is a mountain, I'm a rolling stone.
I come round before too long.




Love is a river gonna carry me, love is a river gonna carry me, carry me.
Love is a river gonna carry me, carry me home
