Stand by...

Stand by...

All that we've been thru

All we can't undo

I'm picking out the songs to set the mood

They'll play them at a funeral for you

I have been the only friend

I have stayed until the end

I'm telling you my brother

I am through

It's a measure of pity

That I won't carry...

I won't carry

It's a matter of duty

But I won't carry...

I won't carry you

Most of us have our secrets

One deep-rooted mark we can't remove

I'm guessing yours still owns you

I can't dig mine up to bury you

I have been the only friend

I have stayed until the end

I'm telling you my brother

I am thru I will lie with the guilty

But I won't carry...

I won't carry...

It's a measure of bad dreams

But I won't carry...

I won't carry you
