I broke down on new years day
I mixed my drinks and I lost my way
I walked past the houses of every friend I'd ever known
and I set off on my own
If only I had known
that you'd been waiting in the street for me all day
And they carried you away
They carried you away
Now everything gets older the further that I go
and I hope that someone is praying for me out there at home
And I never saw you waving
At least that's what I'll say
when they carry me away
When they carry me away
I mixed my drinks and I lost my way
I walked past the houses of every friend I'd ever known
and I set off on my own
If only I had known
that you'd been waiting in the street for me all day
And they carried you away
They carried you away
Now everything gets older the further that I go
and I hope that someone is praying for me out there at home
And I never saw you waving
At least that's what I'll say
when they carry me away
When they carry me away
