Still Carrying You Songtext
von Glen Phillips & Grant‐Lee Phillips

Had a dream, you weren′t in it
Butterflies in my stomach
And a feeling that something was missing
Saw a deer in the garden
Licking up dirty water
As I cut up the meat in the kitchen

When we hit that stream I held you high
Set you down on the other side
Years go by and I'm still carrying you


Read a book, hit a bottle
Took a pill for my troubles
Some years are better than others
Many objects, little permanence
Like the stars up in the firmament
Might be dead when their light finally reaches you

When we hit that stream I held you high
Set you down on the other side
Years go by and I′m still carrying you

I put you down
Put you away
You're still around
But I'm trying to live in the present tense today

When we hit that stream I held you high
Set you down on the other side
Years go by but I′m still carrying you

When we hit that stream I held you high
Set you down on the other side
Years go by but I′m still carrying you
