Folds Ben Carrying Cathy Lyrics

Carrying Cathy Lyrics

Her window was hung like a painting

 She worried it might come to life

 She stared for hours

 So obsessed was I and self-absorbed that I

 Didn't see that she was

 Crying

 

 There was always someone carrying

 There was always someone carrying

 Always someone's carrying Cathy

 

 There were times when I'd find myself saying that:

 "Friends, you don't understand"

 And she's different when it's just me and her, and I

 Closed the door and I tried to hang on and she

 Sank into the dark

 I was over my head

 

 There was always someone carrying

 There was always someone carrying

 Always someone's carrying Cathy

 

 We gave you everything

 You could have been anything

 We gave you everything

 You could have done anything

 

 But to imagine a fall

 With no one at all to catch you

 There'd always been someone

 

 Then one night she climbed into the picture frame

 Out in the frozen air

 And out of sight

 

 Woke up sad from this dream I've been having

 The last couple nights or so

 With her father and brothers we're all at the funeral

 Carrying a box through the rain

 Then somebody says that it's always been this way

 

 Always someone's carrying

 There was always someone carrying

 Always someone's carrying Cathy
