I had a dream, you weren't in it
Butterflies in my stomach
And a feeling that something was missing
Saw a deer in the garden
Licking up dirty water
As I washed my hands in the kitchen
When we hit that stream I held you high
And I set you down on the other side
And the years go by
But I'm still carrying you
Read a book, hit a bottle
Took a pill for my troubles
Some years are better than othrs
Many objects, little permanance
Like the stars up in the firmament
Might be dead when the light finally reaches you
When we hit that stream, oh I held you high
And I set you down on the other side
And the years go by
But I'm still carrying you
I put you down
I put you away
But you're still around
Don't you know I'm trying to live
In the present tense today
When we hit that bridge, oh I held you high
And I set you down on the other side
And the years go by
But I'm still carrying you
I'm still carrying
I'm still carrying you
