Carrying Cathy

Her window was hung like a painting She worried it might come to life She stared for hours So obsessed was I and self-absorbed that I Didn`t see that she was Crying There was always someone carrying There was always someone carrying Always someone`s carrying Cathy There were times when I`d find myself saying that: "Friends, you don`t understand" And she`s different when it`s just me and her, and I Closed the door and I tried to hang on and she Sank into the dark I was over my head There was always someone carrying There was always someone carrying Always someone`s carrying Cathy We gave you everything You could have been anything We gave you everything You could have done anything But to imagine a fall With no one at all to catch you There`d always been someone Then one night she climbed into the picture frame Out in the frozen air And out of sight Woke up sad from this dream I`ve been having The last couple nights or so With her father and brothers we`re all at the funeral Carrying a box through the rain Then somebody says that it`s always been this way Always someone`s carrying There was always someone carrying Always someone`s carrying Cathy
