Her window was hung like a painting
 
 She worried it might come to life
 
 She stared for hours
 
 So obsessed was I and self-absorbed that I
 
 Didn't see that she was crying
 
  
  There was always someone carrying
 
 There was always someone carrying
 
 Always someone's carrying Cathy
  
 
 There were times when I'd find myself saying to friends, 
 
 "you don't understand"
 
 she's different when it's just me and her, 
 
 and I'd close the door and I'd try to hang on and she
 
 sank into the dark
 
 I was over my head
  
 
 There was always someone carrying
 
 There was always someone carrying
 
 Always someone's carrying Cathy
  
 
 We gave you everything
 
 You could have been anything
 
 We gave you everything
 
 You could have done anything
  
 
 But to imagine a fall
 
 With no one at all to catch you
 
 There'd always been someone
  
 
 Then one night she climbed into the picture frame
 
 Out in the frozen air
 
 And out of sight
  
 
 I woke up sad from this dream I've been having
 
 The last couple nights or so
 
 With her father, her brothers we're all at the funeral
 
 Carrying a box through the rain
 
 Then somebody says, "yeah it's always been this way"
  
 
 Always someone's carrying
 
 There was always someone carrying
 
 Always someone's carrying Cathy
