Trouble is her only friend and he's back again
makes her body older than it realy is
she says it's high time she went away
no one's got much to say in this town
trouble is the only way is down
down down

As strong as you were, tender you go
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
a song for you heart, but when it is quiet
I know what it means and I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home

If she had wings she would fly away
and another day God will give her some
trouble is the only way is down
down down

As strong as you were, tender you go
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
a song for you heart, but when it is quiet
I know what it means and I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home

And they were all born pretty in New York City tonight
and someone's little girl was taken from the world tonight
Under the Stars and Stripes

As strong as you were, tender you go
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
a song for you heart, but when it is quiet
I know what it means and I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home
