Lyrics
'Time Weighs Heavy'
It's quarter to three an' I ain't
Got no time for my worries
It's early down here an' I trod
On the last ray a' sunshine
You're punching a hole in the roof
Of this picture a' glory, yeah
I bricked up my dreams on the old
Windin' road of my story
Time weighs heavy on me
Look how the clock's rollin' round
It sure takes a lifetime of sorry's
It's all been a' tyin' you down
I broken my luck an' I put all
The world back together
I'm packin' the shreds an' I'm
Sewin' security blankets
You're flickin' a coin an'
You're pullin' me into forever
I'm flyin' so high an' I bought it
N' baked it n' drank it
I'm caught in the rhythm of conquest, yeah
See how the clouds come apart
The planets, yeah the pain
Have we landed? On a whole heap of hurt
In our hearts
Why are you giving it up
When you just reached the ending?
Everything broken is used
And it just takes some mending
Can't you see light in the dark?
Leave just a moment to mark
We were the two in the park
With one heart
I'm keepin' my soul in a diary
Full of Decembers
You're hangin' up smiles on the
Shadows you left in the rain
It's lonely tonight but I count
Every flame in the embers
Wave me a wish as the smoke
Disappears with the train
I'm caught in the rhythm of conquest
See how the clouds come apart
The planets, yeah the pain
Have we landed? On a whole heap of hurt
In our hearts
Yeah time weighs heavy on me
Look how the clock's rollin' round an' round
It sure, takes a lifetime of sorry's
When it's all been tyin' you down, yeah
Oh yeah, I bought it, I baked it, I drank it
I lost it, I sang it, oh yeah, ohhhh
And it tears me apart, yeah
Can't you see light in the dark, oh baby
