Carry My Body Down

Carry My Body Down - Nick 13

How long can this journey go on

Will I find the place I'm meant to go

Will dreams fall down around us

Just like the weathered stone

Another year has come and gone

Will my coat hold for one year more

I think of how far I have come

And what's been left behind

When will they carry my body down

When will they carry my body down

Will they take it from the river

After I've jumped right in and drowned

Will they find it on the battlefield

On the spot I stood my ground

I walk alone I walk apart

Someday I'll wander no more

I search to find what I have lost and

That which I've never known

And when I find that I have gone

Across that river I know

I'll take only my memories

And things that might have been

When will they carry my body down

When will they carry my body down

Will they cut it from a hangman's noose

After the sentence has come down

Will anyone be there to morn

A villain's passing to the ground

When will they carry my body down

When will they carry my body down

When will they carry my body down
