I carry you with me
  A ghost inside
  And in these shattered arms
  You're still alive
  I carry you with me
  A holy shrine
  And dogs and angels follow
  Right behind
  
  And could I be walking higher
  Could I be right beside her?
  
  The bones they buried
  Will feed the trees
  But every word you ever spoke
  Is still in me
  
  And couldI be walking higher
  Could I be right beside her?
  
  And I will feel for you in the music
  And I will send that river home
  And I will cry for you sometimes
  When the night is down
  And I raise my head up to the mountains
  Talk to the birds and I fly
  'Cause the spirit lives on
  When the body dies
  
  And could I be walking higher
  Could I be right beside her?
  Could I be walking higher
  Could I be right beside her?
