[Verse 1]
If they would let me trade
I'd give a year for half a day
Just curled up on the sofa with you
We'd wander down to Cottesloe
Eat fish and chips in the final glow
I'd hold my breath for, I forgive you
Sometimes I feel you with me in the dark
And your face is in the faces of the strangers walking by me in the park

[Pre-Chorus]
And reflected in your eyes
Is all my love and all my lies
Is all my promise and my pride
Is all my fear and all my fight
Is all my dread and my denial

[Chorus]
And though we cannot be together
I know that I will carry you wherever I go
I will carry you
Lord knows
I will carry you
I will carry you

[Pre-Chorus]
And reflected in your eyes
Is all my love and all my lies
Is all my promise and my pride
Is all my fear and all my fight
Is all my dread and my denial
[Chorus]
And though we cannot be together
I know that I will carry you wherever I go
I will carry you
Lord knows
I will carry you
I will carry you
I will carry you
