Lyrics:

Well I fly the big liners from new york to france
What I got in my bag, there's no second chance
From Kennedy to Marseilles, I carry the news
Manhattan is waitin' for me to come through

Will you be waiting when I'm still inside
Can you keep yourself warm when the fire has died
Will you be there on the day I get out
Can you carry my love through the worries and doubt

And I'm writing this letter so you'll know where I am
They keep me forever, but it's not up to them
The work isn't hard here, the food not too bad
But there's bars on the windows and I miss what we had

Do they still ask about me at the parties in town
Do they know who to look for when I'm not around
Are they giving their lives to the lady in white
Is business still booming when money is tight

And will you be waiting when I'm still inside
Can you keep yourself warm when the fire has died
Will you be there on the day I get out
Can you carry my love through the worries and doubt

Do they still ask about me at the parties in town
Do they know who to look for when I'm not around
Are they giving their lives to the lady in white
Is business still booming when money is tight

Can you carry my love?
Can you carry my love?
Can you carry my love?
Can you carry my love?
