You know I've been traveling for a long, long time
I've seen the ends of this world, and I'm cold in your eyes
If I leave you traveling, long way to carry me home
There was this storm and it took my friend
They found him the next day, he was cold and pretend
If he leaves me traveling, long way it is to carry him home
Then I lost my brother to the bullets of your war
They're gonna bomb your city, and the cold wind will blow
If I die before I learn to live, he's gonna carry me home
I sent a letter to the woman that I loved
It read baby I'm sorry, but I'm cold in your arms
If she leaves me traveling, long way it is to carry her home
And if I leave you traveling, all I know is how to carry me home
