We can never go home
We no longer have one
I'll help you carry the load
I'll carry you in my arms
The kiss of the snow
The crescent moon above us
Our blood is cold
And we're alone
But I'm alone with you
Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
It will light our way forever
If I say shut your eyes
If I say look away
Bury your face in my shoulder
Think of a birthday
The things you put in your head
They will stay here forever
Our blood is cold
And we're alone, love
But I'm alone with you
Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
It will light our way forever
Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Now help me to carry the fire
It will light up our way forever
If I say shut your eyes
If I say shut your eyes
Bury me in suprise
Where I say shut your eyes
Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me carry the fire
It will light our way forever
Live version
We can never go home, son
We no longer have one
I'll help you carry the load
I'll carry you in my arms
We walk through the ash
And the charred remains of our country
Keep an eye on my back
I'll keep an eye on the road
Help me carry the fire
To keep it light together
Help me carry the fire
This road won't go on forever
If I say shut your eyes
If I say look away
Bury your face in my shoulder
Think of a birthday
The things you put in your head
They will stay there forever
I'm trying hard to hide your soul, son
From things it's not meant to see
Help me carry the fire
To keep it light together
Help me carry the fire
This road won't go on forever
If I say shut your eyes
If I say shut your eyes
Bury me in surprise
When I say shut your eyes, eyes
Help me carry the fire
To keep it light together
Help me carry the fire
This road won't go on forever
