Heavy on me

The girl in long stalking barefoot to her content

Walks before you with balance in her every step

What seems to be stable you have yet a clue

That every fumble she makes is all because of you

Heavy on me heavy on me now

The weight of a dead man I shouldn’t allow

The sun sets behind this old house everyday

You can warrant its return but it's never to stay

I bury memories in the backyard by night

“Leave him behind”, they say, “don’t put up a fight”

Heavy on me heavy on me now

The weight of a dead man I shouldn’t allow

The girl with the rainbow gloves of October

Covered her hands cause she had ties that weren’t over

Then came December and she’ll always remember

Those wrongs that turned this flame to an ember

Heavy on me your heavy on me now

The weight of a dead man I shouldn’t allow
