Union Jack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby i'll carry you, all the way home
If you fall asleep down by the water
Baby i'll carry you, all the way home
Everybody's gotta love some one
But i just wanna love you dear
Everybody's gotta feel something
But i just want to be with you, my dear
I know it's hard
I know it's hard to be in this forever
If they stop loving you
I won't stop loving you
If they stop needing you
I'll still need you, my dear
If you fall asleep down by the water
Baby i'll carry you, all the way home
If you fall asleep down by the water
Baby i'll carry you, all the way home
You've gotta believe me
When i say
When i say the word, forever
And whatever
Comes your way
Oh we'll still be together
I know it's hard
I know it's hard
But i understand you, just take my hand
If you fall asleep down by the water
Baby i'll carry you, all the way home
If you fall asleep down by the water
Baby i'll carry you, all the way home

This is one of the few songs that brings back vivid memories of staying with my dad and grandma as a kid. Some of my happiest memories 😊 he’d light a fire and play this quietly in the background to help me sleep every night
@patcharisma
This was such a great ambient-song that gave the people in the 90's, an ultimate feeling of freedom... :)

This is definitely one of my favorite tunes from the Chillout world...I remember discovering it years ago through one of my Hindu Fans, and I use it, at random, during my sophisticated DJ sets...
Those sounds of water paddling, the Nature conversation, the bongas...ehm...so cool!

Nothing beats the electronic music of the 90s. And there is so much of it... This one always stood out to me though. Waterdrums.... hard to beat.
