Carry My Body Down

[Verse 1]
How long can this journey go on?
Will I find the place I'm meant to go?
Will dreams fall down around us
Just like the winter snow?

[Verse 2]
Another year has come and gone
Will my luck hold for one year more?
I think of how far I have come
And what's been left behind

[Chorus 1]
When will they carry my body down?
When will they carry my body down?
Will they take it from the river
After I've jumped right in and drowned?
Will they find it on the battlefield
On the spot I stood my ground?

[Verse 3]
I walk alone, I walk apart
Someday I'll wander no more
I search to find what I have lost
And that which I've never known

[Verse 4]
And when I find that I have gone
Across that river I know
I'll take only my memories
And things that might have been

[Chorus 2]
When will they carry my body down?
When will they carry my body down?
Will they cut it from a hangman's noose
After the sentence has come down?
Will anyone be there to mourn
A villain's passing to the ground?

[Outro]
When will they carry my body down?
When will they carry my body down?
When will they carry my body down?
