I broke down on new years day. I mixed my drinks and I lost my way. I walked past the houses of every friend I'd ever known And I set off on my own. If only I had known That you'd been waiting in the street for me all day. And they carried you away. They carried you away. Now everything gets older the further that I go And I hope that someone is praying for me out there at home. And I never saw you waving. At least that's what I'll say When they carry me away. When they carry me away.
