Carry The Water Lyrics

(by Bruce Hornsby)

  

 Some live life with eyes that don't see

 They look away at the time of your greatest need

 Some talk, some'll just do, some just turn their back

 Turn around and just walk away

 I know i've done that

 Lonely days and lonely nights

 Easy to be cynical

 Never put yourself on the line

 I'd like to reach out

 Well, why don't I?

 Take the load up off your back

 I'd like to try

 

 Let me carry the water

 Let me carry the weight

 I will bear your burden

 Let me carry the load

 

 Working hard, sweating all day

 In the long hot sun

 Feel alone with a heavy heart

 You're not the only one

 Bossman says time to jump

 We say how high

 If you need a hand getting off your feet

 Baby, i'll try

 

 I want to cover tou

 Like the sea on the sand

 Easy to be cynical

 Never take a stand

 Easy for me not to give a damn

 I'll ask you to call for me

 And i'll give you a hand

 

 Let me carry the water

 Let me carry the load

 I will shoulder your burden

 Let me carry the load

 

 Lonely nights and lonely days

 You wait for someone to come along

 And sweep you away

 I'll put myself out there

 It just might feel good

 I don't always do that

 But I think I should
