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.
