Feel the road, it's cold
And do they still steal?
On a highway of tears
And the sorrow shows
Where the scars don't heal
On a highway of tears
On a highway of tears

Hands and sheets
That don't come clean
On a red riverbed
I heard the water's song
And saw the river's son
Carry her away, my dear
Carry her away, my dear

Hear the words a broken heart can only say
Feel so many kinds of pain
You are haunted, I can see it in your eyes
Like a mother afraid of her own child

Carry her away, my dear
Carry her away, my dear
Carry her away
