《The Carpenters》是Carpenters演唱的一首歌曲，發行於他們的首張專輯《Offering》。
以下是《The Carpenters》的歌詞：
Close every door,
and all the windows too,
Don't want no one to see
What I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna run,
Gonna run away,
Gonna leave this world of stone
And join the ones who stay above.
I'm gonna run,
Gonna run away,
Gonna leave this world of pain
And dance on clouds of green.
Close every door,
close every window too,
This won't be here when I get back,
Or if I come through.
So this time I'm on my own.
So, you say that life's like a hurricane.
You're caught in the center of a raging storm.
Trying to make decisions about who to be,
You just do the best you can.
I feel that way sometimes, Lord knows I do.
The one thing I've learned is that it's all up to me.
I'm gonna run, gonna run away.
Gonna leave this world of stone and dance on clouds of green.
And when I'm gone, don't try to follow me.
I won't need no bodyguard or airtight escape plan.
Cause it's a mystery to me if there's life after we meet and I can explain that later on, or not at all.
And if I make it out alive. I know what I'll be doing then.
Gonna run, gonna run away.
Gonna leave this world of stone and dance on clouds of green.
So here I go again. Gonna run away.
Gonna leave this world of stone and dance on clouds of green.
And if you want me to stay, Lord knows I want to stay.
But if you don't, then so be it.
I won't look back again. Cause it's a mystery to me if there's life after this song and I can explain that later on, or not at all.
And if I make it out alive. I know what I'll be doing then.
