Last night I drifted down to the docks The water, glittering and black The snow fell lightly and disappeared I felt the old ropes grow slack [Chorus:] I thought I'd dissolve When the beacon revolved I just get carried, so carried Carried away Once, I had a ship Yes, I had a map I had the wind Like a tree has sap [Chorus:] I sank into These banks of clay I just get carried, so carried Carried... Those rooms were freezing And always dark But where we were never mattered Your head was golden There was lightning in your arms And then the gla** shattered It was noon at midnight The day that never ends The lamp, it whispers And makes amends [Chorus:] Everything was more Than I took it for I just get carried, so carried Carried away
