Carry Me Home
“When I was a young girl, I danced light and fair; the boys would all follow me home…”
This line sets the tone for the song and opens the page for listeners to want to learn more about “the young girl.” The choice of
the wording along with the military cadence of the drums supports the storyline. It’s about a woman who reflects upon how her
soldier/husband was killed on the field of battle and was buried on their property hilltop at his request. The young girl, who has
now become a woman, reflects back on her life with no regrets and her greatest hope for the future is to be laid to rest beside
her love.
