about

I started recording this back in the early '00's; in fact, an early version appeared on an indie pop anthology back then. But last year I wrote new lyrics and recorded some new guitar parts, and this version is better.

lyrics

CARRY YOU (Redux)
by Richard Horton © Hortones, BMI

CHORUS:
“Carry you, I will carry you
When the sand slips
Shifts the ground beneath your shoes”

You went out walking in heels & peep-toes
Uneven concrete, slippery seashores
I held your hand but then you faltered
Breaking our dual stride

Lying there you smiled in anguish
Your ankle sprained, you thought you’d vanquished
Terrain of risky, unsure trial
Tenderly, I explained:

(CHORUS)

And now it seems my health declining
Fears and stress they redefine me
My eyes wide open as I recline
You bend to me and then you say

(CHORUS)

Love’s not always sex and laughter
Late-night drinks, the mornings after
Someone to hold us, to whisper in our ears:
“Carry you, I will carry you -----"

(CHORUS)
