To every son and daughter
|
Wayward and long gone
|
The love of a father
|
Will leave the light on
|
|
Tried to throw you off track
|
A needle in a haystack
|
I don't know how you found me
|
Or why you let me come back
|
|
'Cause it's a long way home when all you're left to carry
|
Is a heart of stone and the weight of most the world
|
And I'd like toˇ¦
|
|
Lay it down a little
|
Lay it down a lot
|
I don't want to hold it anymore
|
Lay it down in pieces
|
Lay it down in whole
|
Everything I've carried on my own
|
Lay it down, lay it down
|
Lay it down, lay it down
|
|
I spent your money
|
Living on the fringes
|
But you threw a party for me
|
Invited all your big friends
|
|
And I have learned a little bit about a heavy load
|
All that gleams and glitters is not worth its weight in gold
|
And I know I shouldˇ¦
