| I’m at your back door
|
| With the earth of a hundred nations in my skin
|
| You wouldn’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
|
| Well, would it be enough to go by
|
| If we could sail on the wind in 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 in 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
|
| The 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 in 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
|
| If my love could keep you alive |
