He's waiting at the station

He's not taking any trains

He's a kid from Colorado

Counting raindrops in the drain,

He's sleeping in the tunnel

He's edging towards the vent

He's a lonesome river swimmer

Wondering where the river went.



Whose gonna carry him down?

Whose gonna carry him down?

One more turnaround

And he'll be homeward bound

Whose gonna carry him, carry him down?



There's a landlord on the benches

There's a posse on the train

There's an angel up in heaven

Who forgot somebody's name.



Whose gonna carry him down?

Whose gonna carry him down?

One more turnaround

And he'll be homeward bound

Whose gonna carry him, carry him down?



One more turnaround

And he'll be homeward bound

Whose gonna carry him, carry him down?
