I'm at your back door
|
With the earth of a hundred nations in my skin
|
You won't recognize me
|
For the light in my eyes is strange
|
|
It was years ago, God knows
|
When you strained to tell me your whole truth
|
That you were not mine to save
|
That you could not change
|
|
Carry the weight
|
I'll carry the weight of you this time
|
Carry the weight
|
I'll carry the weight of you
|
|
Would it be enough to go by
|
If we could sail on the wind and the dark
|
Cut those chains in the middle of the night
|
That had you pulled apart
|
|
Would it be enough to go by
|
If there's moonlight pulling the tide
|
Would it be enough to live on
|
If my love could keep you alive
|
|
I've built a lot of castles
|
I've built a lot of blazing speed-of-light machines
|
But it doesn't matter, you know
|
They all crumble in the winds of change
|
|
So I turned back to breathing
|
I learned a few good reasons to cry
|
And I finally called home
|
Praying you weren't out of range
|
|
Carry the weight
|
I'll carry the weight of you, I swear
|
Carry the weight
|
I'll carry the weight of you
|
|
Would it be enough to go by
|
If we could sail on the wind and the dark
|
Cut those chains in the middle of the night
|
That had you pulled apart
|
|
Would it be enough to go by
|
If there's moonlight pulling the tide
|
Would it be enough to live on
|
If my love could keep you alive
|
|
So will you let me come in
|
Mosquitoes have found me
|
And they're crowding 'round my blood
|
At least offer me a drink
|
Or a breaking of the ice
|
I'm wanting your anger
|
I only want to see if I can shake you out of sleep
|
And bring you out under this flooded sky
|
At any price
|
|
So carry the weight
|
Carry the weight of me in your heart
|
Carry the weight
|
Carry the weight of me
|
|
Would it be enough to go by
|
If we could sail on the wind and the dark
|
Cut those chains in the middle of the night
|
That had you pulled apart
|
|
Would it be enough to go by
|
If there's moonlight pulling the tide
|
Would it be enough to live on
|
If my love could keep you alive
|
