Junkyard

We used to live by a junkyard
The train would shake our windows at night
Stay up late with flashlights and cards
Just so we could see 'em pass by
Just so we could see 'em pass by

We said we saw a circus roll through
I think it was a dream
Ringling Brothers travel in trucks
Sometimes things are better if they're not what they seem
Sometimes things are better if they're not what they seem

Carry me away
Carry me away
I don't feel like runnin' but I can't stay
Carry me away

I saw my mother a hundred times
Sneak outside at midnight to cry
There in the dark she waters her garden
Saying how can I finish this fight that I started
How can I finish this fight that I started

Carry me away
Carry me away
I don't feel like runnin' but I can't stay
Carry me away

One day we moved to a big house
And everybody got their own room
And I left the lights on
I could hear the walls groan
Somethin' didn't feel like home
Somethin' didn't feel like home

Carry me away
Carry me away
I don't feel like runnin' but I can't stay
Carry me away
Carry me away
Carry me away
