Who Is It (Carry My Joy On the Left, Carry My Pain On the Right)
[Verse 1]
Her embrace, a fortress
She shelters me and places
A skeleton of trust
Right beneath us
Bone by bone
Stone by stone
[Pre-Chorus]
If you ask yourself patiently and carefully:
Who is it? Who is it?
[Chorus]
Who is it who never lets you down?
Who is it who gave you back your crown?
And the ornaments are, they're going around
Now they're handing it over, handing it over
Who is it who never lets you down?
Who is it who gave you back your crown?
And the ornaments are, they're going around
Now they're handing it over, handing it over
[Verse 2]
She demands a closeness
We all have earned a lightness
I carry my joy on the left
I carry my pain on the right
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But if you ask yourself, patiently
Who is it? Who is it?
[Chorus]
Who is it who never lets you down?
Who is it who gave you back your crown?
And the ornaments are going around
Now they're handing it over, handing it over
[Chorus]
Who is it who never lets you down?
Who is it who gave you back your crown?
And the ornaments are, they're going around
Now they're handing it over, handing it over
Who is it who never lets you down?
Who is it who gave you back your crown?
And the ornaments are, they're going around
Now they're handing it over, handing it over
[Outro]
And you ask yourself, who is it?
Who is it?
