Carry Me Away

(Verse 1)
There is
A soft sweet singing
A quiet song
I can hear it
Rustling in the autumn trees

There is
A cool misty breeze
A gentle flutter
I can feel it
Tugging at my spirit to soar

(chorus)
Carry me
Carry me away
To somewhere I’d rather be
Carry me
Carry me away
I don’t want to stay

(Verse 2)
There is
A light in the distance
A twinkling sparkle
I can see it
Beckoning to me

There is
A land far away
A beautiful place
I can sense it
Waiting for me

(chorus)

(bridge)
One by one
My dreams are gone
Leaving only a shadow
Of what I wanted to be
And day by day
I feel I’m fading away
But it doesn’t really matter
I don’t want to stay

(chorus)
