Well I woke up to
the sound of silence
the cars
were cutting like knives
in a fist fight
And I found you
with a bottle of wine
your head in the curtains
and your heart like
the fourth of July
You swore and said
"We are not
We are not shining stars
this I know"
I never said we are
Though I've never been
through hell like that
I've closed enough
windows to know you
can never look back
If you're lost and alone
or you're sinking
like a stone
carry o...n
May your past
be the sound
of your feet
upon the ground
carry o....n
Carry on
Carry on
So I met up
with some friends
at the edge of the night
at a bar off seventy five
And we talked
and talked
about how
our parents will die
All our neighbours
and wives
But I'd like to think
I can cheat it all
to make up
for the times
I've been cheated on
And it's nice to know
when I was
left for dead
I was found and now
I don't roam these streets
I am not the ghost
you want of me
if you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking
like a stone
carry o.....n
May your past
be the sound
of your feet
upon the ground
carry o...n
Oooh my head is on fire
but my legs are fine
after all they are mine
We lay your clothes
down on the floor
close the door
hold the phones
Show me how
no-one's ever
gonna stop us now
'Cause we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day
when we're miles away
so we'll come we will
find our way home
if you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking
like a stone
carry o...n
May your past
be the sound
of your feet
upon the ground
carry o...n
Oh oh woh woh woah oh
Oh oh woh woh woah oh
Oh oh woh woh woah oh
Oh oh woh woh woah oh
