Ben Folds - Carrying Cathy lyrics

[Ben Folds - Carrying Cathy lyrics]

Her window was hung like a painting
She worried it might come to life she
Stared for hours
So obsessed was I and self-absorbed that I
Didn't see that she was crying

There was always someone carrying
There was always someone carrying
Always someone's carrying Cathy
There were times when I'd
Find myself saying that:
"Friends, you don't understand"
And she's different when it's
Just me and her, and I
Closed the door, and I tried to hang on
And she sank into the dark
I was over my head

There was always someone carrying
There was always someone carrying
Always someone's carrying Cathy

We gave you everything
You could have been anything
We gave you everything
You could have done anything
But to imagine a fall
With no one at all to catch you
There'd always been someone

Then one night she climbed
Into the picture frame out in the frozen air
And out of sight

Woke up sad from this dream I've been having
The last couple nights or so
With her father and brothers we're
All at the funeral
Carrying a box through the rain
Then somebody says that it's
Always been this way

There was always someone carrying
There was always someone carrying
Always someone's carrying Cathy
