Lyrics
Night shift in the sorting hall Sacks of letters, stacked up tall Every name and every street Little words on paper feet Carry them home, carry them slow Every letter has somewhere to go Carry them home, carry them slow Stay close, I'm right here, I know Stamps from places far away Waiting for the break of day Someone's hoping at a door For a note they've waited for Carry them home, carry them slow Every letter has somewhere to go Carry them home, carry them slow Stay close, I'm right here, I know Hands that sort and hands that send Hold the distance end to end Morning, hear the footsteps climb Every word arrives in time Carry them home, carry them slow Every letter has somewhere to go Carry them home, carry them slow Stay close, I'm right here, I know Carry them home Carry them slow
