We Carry On

Start

Morning sun creeps across the floor

Coffee brews where her laugh lived before

You’re staring out while I wash the cups

Trying not to say too much

Rain taps low on the window pane

Quiet drives through small town lanes

I see your hands shaking by your side

So I just sit and let time slide

Chorus

We’re trying to find the right words

Walking slow through the dust and the hurt

Brother and sister holding on

Since Mama’s gone, it’s me and you now

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, we carry on

Oh oh, we carry on

Verse 2

You leave your boots by the back door

I bite my tongue like I did before

Inside her kitchen, I see your face

Both trying hard to fill empty space

Pre-Chorus

You say things that make me mad

I say things that make you sad

But we both know, at the end of the row

Family’s all we’ve got

Chorus

We’re trying to find the right words

Walking slow through the dust and the hurt

Brother and sister holding on

Since Mama’s gone, it’s me and you now

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, we carry on

Oh oh, we carry on
