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 to 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 as 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, her brothers, we're all at the funeral   Carrying a box through the rain   Then somebody says that it's always been this way      Always someone's carrying   There was always someone carrying   Always someone's carrying Cathy
