Stand by... stand by... all that we’ve been thru
all we can’t undo I’m picking out the songs to
set the mood they’ll play them at a funeral for
you I have been the only friend I have stayed
until the end I’m telling you my brother I am
through it’s a measure of pity that I won’t
carry... I won’t carry it’s a matter of duty but
I won’t carry... I won’t carry you most of us
have our secrets one deep-rooted mark we can’t
remove I’m guessing yours still owns you I can’t
dig mine up to bury you I have been the only
friend I have stayed until the end I’m telling
you my brother I am thru I will lie with the
guilty but I won’t carry... I won’t carry... it’s
a measure of bad dreams but I won’t carry... I
won’t carry you
