I carried it in boxes I carried it in circle I carried it alone Ohhh as the air I breathe Is burnt and golden I can feel you here And I, I called out to the figures The dancing little fingers And the shadows on the floor Ohhh all these things that I can do To keep you So you'll still be here And I, I know that I've been drinking I know I've not been thinking I'm sorry I've been lost And I know that the plans we made When we were scheming They were never going to hold I've measured up the weights I've measured up the pulleys To make a lighter load Cause I know if I close my eyes I see you breathing I can trace the way Your chest will rise and fall I can see that everything will come to us in darkness Please just wait for me So I won't be Alone Alone Alone Alone Tell me are my eyes red Tell me are my eyes shut tight Tell me are my eyes red Tell me are my eyes shut tight Tell me are my eyes red Oh I can wish that I could cry At all I carry you in colors I carry you in shapes But the colors fade in time And I know if I close my eyes I see you breathing I can trace the way Your chest will rise and fall I can see that everything will come to us in darkness So please just wait for me And we won't be alone
