You used to be a fighter, your heart was clean
Now you're looking kind of stoned, sitting next to me
I guess you know the sorrow when you say goodbye
To the woman in your arms, the fire in your eyes

And ooh child, don't it seem heavy when your wings keep breaking up?
Oh, love, yesterday was easier, I know

But carry on Janet, I know you've got the heart
When the stars come down I'll be around
To lead you from the dark
So carry on, Janet, my friend, you're not alone
When your feet don't know which way to go
Oh, I'll carry you home, I'll carry you home

But Johnny was a fighter
He watched her leave his heart on the ground, flowers by his feet
Looking kind of sorry, he said goodbye
To the woman in his arms, the fire in his eyes

And ooh love, I know it ain't funny when your wings keep breaking up
And ooh love, yesterday was sweeter, I know

But carry on, Janet, let's go back to the start
And if the stars come down I'll be around
To follow you through the dark
Hold on, Janet, my friend, you're not alone
When your feet don't know which way to go
Oh, I'll carry you home, carry you home

And ooh, love, I bet it seems hard when your wings are breaking up
Ooh love, yesterday was easier, I know

But carry on, Janet, I know you've got the heart
When the stars come down I'll be around
To lead you from the dark
Carry on, Janet, my friend, you're not alone
When your feet don't know which way to go
I'll carry you home, oh, I'll carry you home
When your feet don't know which way to go
I'll carry you home, carry you home
