Carry On (Early Alternate Mix) - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry But the air was full of sound I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la, la lala la la la, la, la La, la, la lala la la la, la, la After two days in the desert sun My skin began to turn red After three days in the desert fun I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name Because there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la, la lala la la la, la, la La, la, la lala la la la, la, la And after nine days I let the horse run free 'Cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with its life underground And a perfect disguise above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la, la lala la la la, la, la La, la, la lala la la la, la, la La, la, la lala la la la, la, la La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

Carry on, carry on You get what you get and then it's gone Kiss you goodnight, say your prayers Hear your feet float down the stairs Carry on, I'll carry on Come on down, come on down Can you hear me when I'm singing out? She got swept up in the flood Lost my mind but not my love Come on down, come on down Kill that cigarette But don't go down without me, ah Hold me close again Can only love you if you let me in You're the light, don't let me go dark You're the light, don't let me go dark Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh We wrecked everything It's not you, it's me We'll turn around at the sound that breaks with the dawn We'll carry on, we'll carry on Kill that cigarette But don't go down without me, ah Hold me close again Can only love you if you let me in You're the light, don't let me go dark You're the light, don't let me go dark Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Kill that cigarette But don't go down without me, ah Hold me close again Can only love you if you let me in You're the light, don't let me go dark You're the light, don't let me go dark You're the light, don't let me go dark (la-la-la-la-la-la-la) You're the light, don't let me go dark Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I'd like to think that i don't care Just push away my problems like there's no one there These days are long, to long to spend waiting For storms over a tragic end And this is how we'll meet embraced in misery Searching for love in all this hurt It's the cold, cold world versus you and me I write just to forget nothing's the same You drink just to forget Because you can't deal with the pain But you're not to blame, i know we're the same I used to think solutions were clear Guided by a crowd that came and went with the years Those days are gone but i'm still holding on Trying to fight the world through a pen and a song There was a time (and it's coming back) Where i'd look at someone like you And know we're the same (because we are the same) I'm through with the games... This world is fucked, but i'm still looking up I broke the rules and now i'm making amends With what they said and what it meant... What did it have to do with me anyway? I'm through with your lies I closed the door to another end... Xsapox

I know life ain't easy But we will carry on Yeah I know it ain't easy yeah But as long as you're with me We can get along So don't worry baby coz you are not alone yeah Sometimes I feel like I'm alone Nobody's hittin on my phone I don't know what is going on But fuck it I ain't gonna stop I'll do it on my own They pro'ly don't believe coz they think I'm too ambitious Every time they ask me what will happen in my future I understand that they don't even see the bigger picture So now I'm really movin with no bullshit to consider I'm sorry if I really wanted to win I promised to myself that I will live the life that I've dreamed No matter how hard it is, Don't matter how far it is I would walk until I reached the top of my list But right now it's just too heavy It's like the world is leaning on me I know life ain't easy But we will carry on Yeah I know it ain't easy yeah But as long as you're with me We can get along So don't worry baby coz you are not alone yeah I guess it's just the way it is I need to go through all of this So I'm just gonna ride with it Forget what everybody thinks and focus on my shit I think they're tryna bring me down, no And see me fall into the ground, no But I ain't tryna fuck around So go ahead and turn your back coz you can't break me now I made a lot of sacrifices in life There's a struggle every hustle you got nowhere to hide So you should learn how to fight Believe it's gonna be alright You just gotta know that dreams don't happen overnight, yeah But right now let's take it slowly Oh hold on go easy on me I know life ain't easy But we will carry on Yeah I know it ain't easy yeah But as long as you're with me We can get along So don't worry baby coz you are not alone yeah I know life ain't easy But we will carry on Yeah I know it ain't easy yeah But as long as you're with me We can get along So don't worry baby coz you are not alone yeah

I have wasted ten years in a blind-fold, Ten-fold more than I've invested now in sight. I have traveled beveled mirrors in a fly crawl, Losing the reflection of a fight. But like a compass seeking north, (seeking north). There lives in me a still, sure, spirit part. Clouds of doubt are cut asunder (clouds of doubt). By the lightning and the thunder Shining from the compass of my heart (shining from my heart). I have flown the frantic flight of the bat-wing And only known the dark because of that I have seized death's door-handle Like a fish out of the water Waiting for the mercy of the cat. But like a compass seeking north, (seeking north). There lives in me a still, sure, spirit part. Clouds of doubt are cut asunder (clouds of doubt). By the lightning and the thunder Shining from the compass of my heart (shining from my heart).

There's a ship And it sails a sea of light On it's way to me tonight From a distant shore Taking me home once more And the waves And the whistling of the wind Make me come alive again My destiny's at my door Gonna leave this town forever And go where I'll never Need an overcoat no more Where they cry Ooh lalalala, every night and every day Sitting by the Gulf coast just a thousand miles away Where they cry Ooh lalalala, on an island I will dwell Starlit nights in paradise on the Isle of Sanibel There's a girl And I see her dressed in white As she lies there in the night I can hear her cry Where has he gone and why? But she knows That someday he will arrive And it keeps her love alive Dreams can never die She looks across the ocean At sails in motion In the early morning sky Where they cry Ooh lalalala, every night and every day Sitting by the Gulf coast just a thousand miles away Where they cry Ooh lalalala, on an island I will dwell Starlit nights in paradise on the Isle of Sanibel Angels of the water, sirens of the sea Whispering their sweet love songs Calling out to me Ooh lalalala, every night and every day Sitting by the Gulf coast just a thousand miles away Where they cry Ooh lalalala, on an island I will dwell Starlit nights in paradise on the Isle of Sanibel Spend my life in paradise on the Isle of Sanibel
