Lyrics
Last night I drifted down to the docks
The water, glittering and black
The snow fell lightly and disappeared
I felt the old ropes grow slack
Thought I'd dissolve when the beacon revolved
I just get carried, so carried
Carried away
Once I had a ship, yes, I had a map
I had the wind like a tree has sap
I sank into these banks of clay
I just get carried, so carried
Carried
Those rooms were freezing and always dark
Where we were never mattered
Your head was golden, there was lightning in your arms
And then the glass shattered
It was noon at midnight, the day that never ends
The lamp, it whispers and makes amends
Everything was more than I took it for
I just get carried, so carried
Carried away
Writer(s): Tom Verlaine
