He’s waiting at the station
He’s not taking any trains
He’s a kid from Colorado
Counting raindrops in the drain,
He’s sleeping in the tunnel
He’s edging towards the vent
He’s a lonesome river swimmer
Wondering where the river went.
Whose gonna carry him down?
Whose gonna carry him down?
One more turnaround
And he’ll be homeward bound
Whose gonna carry him, carry him down?
There’s a landlord on the benches
There’s a posse on the train
There’s an angel up in heaven
Who forgot somebody’s name.
Whose gonna carry him down?
Whose gonna carry him down?
One more turnaround
And he’ll be homeward bound
Whose gonna carry him, carry him down?
One more turnaround
And he’ll be homeward bound
Whose gonna carry him, carry him down?
