Carry Me Over

Verse 1

Ticket in my breast pocket

Brass and blue at dawn

I left her sleeping softly

Before the light came on

Pre-Chorus

Ocean's a wide and patient thing

Calling out my name

Chorus

Carry me over

Carry me over

Wide water to a warm shore

Paradise that I've been chasing

Carry me over once more

Verse 2

The runway hums beneath me

Gulls drift off the bow

I packed a worn old suitcase

No maps to guide me now

Pre-Chorus

Ocean's a wide and patient thing

Whispering my name

Chorus

Carry me over

Carry me over

Wide water to a warm shore

Paradise that I've been chasing

Carry me over once more

Bridge

Silver wings above the deep blue

Past the clouds where seabirds flew

I left no word no letter

Just a promise to be true

Chorus

Carry me over

Carry me over

Wide water to a warm shore

Paradise that I've been chasing

Carry me over once more
