J’aime beaucoup de que chante James Blunt. Je me dis toujours qu’il sait de quoi il parle quand il chante à propos de ce qu’il se passe en Irak (et oui : pour la bonne raison qu’il a servi là-bas). Bref : sa chanson Carry You Home est très jolie, et je pense ne pas me tromper si je dis que ça parle aussi du rapport entre ceux qui partent (ou sont loin, par exemple en train de guérroyer dans des contrées moyen-orientales) et ceux qui restent.

Les paroles

James Blunt – Carry You Home

Trouble is her only friend and he’s back again.
Makes her body older than it really is.
She says it’s high time she went away,
No one’s got much to say in this town.
Trouble is the only way is down.
Down, down.
As strong as you were, tender you go.
I’m watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I’ll carry you home.
I’ll carry you home.
If she had wings she would fly away,
And another day God will give her some.
Trouble is the only way is down.
Down, down.
As strong as you were, tender you go.
I’m watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I’ll carry you home.
I’ll carry you home.
And they were all born pretty in New York City tonight,
And someone’s little girl was taken from the world tonight,
Under the Stars and Stripes.
As strong as you were, tender you go.
I’m watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I’ll carry you home.
I’ll carry you home.
