Carry me, oh carry me
oh carry me, oh carry me
the Marysburgh Vortex is calling
Carry me, oh carry me
oh weary me, oh wary me
Please let me be sheltered from trivial trappings
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all
Carry me, oh carry me,
oh bury me, oh bury me
Let sand dunes be blankets that calm and cool me
Emily, oh Emily
oh ferry me, oh carry me
I met you when I was but fifteen sailing
And sweetest in the gale is heard
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm
Carry me oh carry me
oh Emily, oh carry me
The Marysburgh Vortex is calling (calling)
Carry me, oh carry me
oh weary me, oh ferry me
I’ll wade through the doldrums
I’ll wade through once more
I’ve heard it in the chillest land
And on the strangest sea
Yet never in extremity
It asked a crumb of me
