Over the hills and forests and the quiet homes Past the lake and meadow; past the fields Over grain that dances to the sound Of the wind that sings a last Goodbye I close my eyes As I sink into the night My heavy heart takes flight Your nightly wandering ephemeral But you gave the meadow back its light Oh the willow stands ethereal As its branches wave a last Goodbye I close my eyes As I sink into the night My heavy heart takes flight Carry me home on the wings of the night Carry me home may our spirits unite Carry me home on paper wings Carry me home like you did in my dreams Oh carry me home tonight Carry me home we've been waiting so long Carry me home for this moment to come Oh carry me home tonight Carry me home to the morning light Carry me home before you wave me goodbye
