Under the orange sky at the edge of the night
All the people in the town gonna carry me down
Down into the river where I lay my head
Oh, won't you take me down
Lay my body in the water then I close my eyes

They're gonna carry me home
Gonna carry me home
To your open arms, to your open arms
They're gonna carry me home
Gonna carry me home to your open arms
To your open arms

Now I can see through the river to the setting sun
And when I fall asleep they're never gonna wake me up
Oh, pretty girl I'm coming home to you
I'm gonna see you soon
Close my eyes, let the river come and sweep me up

They're gonna carry me home
Gonna carry me home to your open arms
To your open arms
They're gonna carry me home
Gonna carry me home to your open arms
Into your open arms

All the people gonna carry me home to you
All the people gonna carry me home to you
All the people gonna carry me home to you
All the people gonna carry me home to you.
