Trouble is her only friend
and he's back again
Makes her body older
than it really is
She says it's high
time she went away
No one's got much to say
in this town
Trouble is the only way is down
Down down
As strong as you were
tender you go
I'm watching you breathing
for the last time
A song for your heart
but when it is quiet
I know what it means and
I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home
If she had wings
she would fly away
And another day
God will give her some
Trouble is the only way is down
Down down
As strong as you were
tender you go
I'm watching you breathing
for the last time
A song for your heart
but when it is quiet
I know what it means and
I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home
And they were all born
pretty in New York City tonight
And someone's little girl
was taken from the world tonight
Under the Stars and Stripes
As strong as you were
tender you go
I'm watching you breathing
for the last time
A song for your heart
but when it is quiet
I know what it means and
I'll carry you home
As strong as you were
tender you go
I'm watching you breathing
for the last time
A song for your heart
but when it is quiet
I know what it means and
I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home
Trouble is her only friend
and he's back again
Makes her body older
than it really is
She says it's high
time she went away
No one's got much to say

Down down
As strong as you were
tender you go
I'm watching you breathing

A song for your heart

I know what it means and
I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home
If she had wings

Trouble is the only way is down
