Carryin' The Torch (Live) - Kinky Friedman
Take it away there with you Tom
Did I hear you say you wished
That you could leave her
Has some foolish disagreement made you blind
If you traveled round this world
You wouldn't find another girl
Could hold the candle to the guy you left behind
And boy she's carrying the torch for you
Though silent tears may fall you never know
But on the day that you discover
How much you really love her
You'll find her love has never lost its glow
She believed ya when you pledged her your devotion
And she watched you as you walked right out the door
After all that she's been through
Tonight she still believes in you
As she stands there all alone upon the shore
And boy she's carrying the torch for you
Though her heart may break
You never know
But on the day that you discover
How much you really love her
You'll find her love has never lost its glow
You know
I still remember the first time I ever saw her
You see
I was coming home from overseas
And well
She was just standing there as the old ship was comin' in
Well she really stood out from the crowd
I can tell you that
And the golden light of dawn was gleaming
In her eyes
Well
There's some folks that call her proud
There's some folks that call her wild
And there's some folks that even go
So far as to call her free
And then there's some
Well they just call her
The statue of liberty
And boy she's carrying the torch for you
Thank you
Her love light shines for all this world to see
Thank you very much
When you decide to care
You'll find a way to love her
Thanks
She wants you just to know
You're always free
