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 cathy

there were times i would find myself saying to friends
you don`t understand
she`s different when it`s just me and her
and i`d close the door
and i`d try to hang on
as she sank into the dark
i was over my head
there was always someone carrying cathy

we gave you everything
you could have done anything
we gave you everything
you could been 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 into 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
and somebody says,
yeah, it`s always been this way
there was always someone carrying cathy
