How pleased can one, Sun setting make you,
If you humble yourself, To it?
How grateful can you, really say that you are,
Just to be here and live through it?
And when beauty askes a question,
How often do you reply? How often do you wonder
About life on the other side?
On the other side of sorrow, On the other side of rage,
On the other side of o.k., O.k. at all, In any way,
Imagine what loneliness, Will drive someone to do,
Now multiply that times me, And multiply that times you,
Now imagine what it would take to make this all happen again,
And just when you think you're gonna cry,
Multiply that times ten,
You Are distracting me from all other activites,
And i know the fact of your presence,
Will dominate my memory of this restaurant, this table,
This day and this town, Cuz i carry you, baby,
I carry you around.
