Music & Lyrics by : Leslie Philips, T Bone Burnette
Originally performed by Leslie Philips

when the water's too high
when the water's too high
I will carry you
I will carry you

when the streets are too hot
when the streets are too hot
I will carry you
I will carry you

Chorus
I will carry you
I will carry you
when the water's too high
I will carry you

[ Instrumental-Bridge ]

when the night is too black
when the night is too black
I will carry you
I will carry you

when the water's too high
when the water's too high
I will carry you
I will carry you

Chorus
