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