Favorite Depressing Songs

[Cindyluwho]

I'd have to say "Carry me Carry" by Dr Hook and the Medicine Show. That dates me doesn't it?

Second Street and Broadway
Sittin' in a doorway
head held in his hands

Looked to all the world
like he was prayin'

Foot wrapped in an old rag
bottle in a brown bag
I saw him try to stand

Then I heard the words
that he was sayin'

And he said
Come on Carrie
Carry me a little farther
Come on Carrie
Carry me one more mile
I don't know where it's leadin' to
but I know I can make it
If I lean on you so
Come on Carrie
Carry me a little
I'll carry you, now carry me a little
Come on Carrie
Carry me a little while

Well he struggled to his feet
and staggered down the street
to the window of a five and dime
he stood and laughed awhile at his reflection

Then I heard him shoutin'
something 'bout a mountain
that he could surely climb
If she was only there to point
the right direction

Come on Carrie
Carry me a little farther
Come on Carrie
Carry me one more mile
I don't know where it's leadin' to
but I know I can make it
If I lean on you so
Come on Carrie
Carry me a little
I'll carry you, now carry me a little
Come on Carrie
Carry me a little while
