Lyrics

A score of years this line has run

Above the crests that drown the sun

A mile high the turbines turned

The stokers sweat, the monkeys burned

I will carry you home with the gods in my eyes

I will carry you home while the westerlies sigh

I will carry you home

The continents will fly apart

The oceans scream and never part

Divided souls can never rest

Must join the nations break the test

I will carry you home with the gods in my eyes

I will carry you home while the westerlies sigh

I will carry you home with the gods in my eyes

I will carry you home while the westerlies sigh

I will carry you home

For endless hours the sirens wail

Await the tide that brings the sail

Cling to the walls and close the shore

The lovers wait who walk no more

I will carry you home with the gods in my eyes

I will carry you home while the westerlies sigh

I will carry you home with the gods in my eyes

I will carry you home while the westerlies sigh

I will carry you home

I will carry you home

I will carry you home

I will carry you home
