Bruce Hornsby - Carry The Water lyrics

rate me

B. R. Hornsby

Some live life with eyes that don't see

They look away at the time of your greatest need

Some talk, some'll just do, some turn their back

Turn around and just walk away I know I've done that

Lonely Days and lonely nights

Easy to be cynical never put yourself on the line

I'd like to reach out well why don't I

Take the load up off your back I'd like to try

Let me carry your water

Let me carry the weight

I will bear your burden

Let me carry the load

Working hard sweating all day in the long hot sun

Feel alone with the heavy load you're not the only one

Bossman say time to jump we say how high

If you need a hand getting off your feet baby I'll try

I want to cover you the the sea on the sand

Easy to be cynical never take a stand

Easy for me not to give a damn

I'll ask you to call for me and I'll give you a hand

Let me carry your water

Let me carry the load

I will shoulder your burden

Let me carry the load

Lonely nights and lonely days

You wait for someone to come along and sweep you away

I'll put myself out there it just might feel good

I don't always do that but I think I should
