Stand by...
stand by...
all that we've been thru
all we can't undo
i'm picking out the songs to set the mood
they'll play them at a funeral for you
i have been the only friend
i have stayed until the end
i'm telling you my brother
i am through
it's a measure of pity
that i won't carry...
i won't carry
it's a matter of duty
but i won't carry...
i won't carry you
most of us have our secrets
one deep-rooted mark we can't remove
i'm guessing yours still owns you
i can't dig mine up to bury you
i have been the only friend
i have stayed until the end
i'm telling you my brother
i am thru i will lie with the guilty
but i won't carry...
i won't carry...
it's a measure of bad dreams
but i won't carry...
i won't carry you
