From the recording Preface to a Dream
Lyrics
Come and Carry Me Away
(E.J. Geel)
Dark blue and crimson red
These are the colors that I used to
Paint my bed
Gold leaf and sienna brown
Shine in your eyes as you drive into town
Come and carry me away upon your love
'Cause I need you
And I'd fall out of my frame without you
Yes, I need you
To hold me
Tight, tonight
Fearless, until the cold morning light
Will strip us of those heavy veils
And we can close the book of fairytales
Come and carry me away upon your love
'Cause I need you
And I'd fall out of this world without you
Yes, I need you
To hold me, tight, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah....
Incense ashes on the floor
The only thing that will break the silence
Will be the knock on my door
This burning desire
Will set this house on fire
Mmm, I can't take anymore
Come and carry me away upon your love
'Cause I need you
And I'd fall out of myself without you
Yes, I need you
To hold me
To hold me, tight yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Come and carry me
Away
