Carried Away

Carried Away Lookin up, winds died down, you can come out now, the sky is clear Looking down on the wreckage, Beat the wood out of the houses, The sky would never betray there’d been a storm here Poor old Charlie, from two doors down His whole damn house, nowhere to be found Still sitting there in his lazy chair, Just taking it all in CHORUS Show me the negative of the night sky I’ll tell you why I used to think it was all I’d see Show me the negative of the night sky, Could’ve been carried away Could’ve been carried away The neighborhood is disarray, glad to be alive They come together Trading beer for firelight Trading stories, trading lies, The sky would never betray there’d been a storm here All we’re asking is for another night (just?) Before we have to start again We’ll make do, we’ll figure it out And we’ll do it tomorrow CHORUS BRIDGE: Upside down, inside out Left to write the tale about The storm that nearly carried us away Glory be, grateful now Don’t know when and don’t know how But we’ll build the fortress (tall/strong) til we feel safe CHORUS
