Carry Me Away

The geese are flying south and that's where I want to go

'Cause winter's coming on and it'll be 43 below

And I've seen their cold, pale faces frozen to the bone

See we don't have a fireplace and we don't have a home

And I've seen them lying in the streets

Their words are frozen in the air

And I've seen them tattered torn and huddled in the snow

A cold reminder that it's coming time to go

So when I hear that whistle blow

I'll catch the next train out of town

I'm not sticking round this city here I'm heading southbound

And like the geese are flying south

It'll carry me away from here

Carry me away , carry me away, away from here

To another day, to another day, take me there

Huddled 'round the fire many fingerless gloves

Searching for some kind of warmth

Searching for some kind of love

But out here it seems all my friends turn into enemies

And probably not enough times do you find me on my knees

But I pray for him to carry me away from here

I seek shelter in an alley It's a funny life to choose

A sick sense of humor but I feel I've nothing to loose

So I wander through the night catching train after train

I'm running from my problems I feel I've nothing to gain

And I cry out but the whistle drowns my voice in the air
