The Burden
Lyrics
Let the dust sit and carve her name right through it
Remind yourself she don't fit anymore
She's been here too recently to dismiss
And standing where you last kissed
Some time ago now, some time ago now
Don't mean to sound misleading
But no use ever came from grieving
She said she would but she didn't
And if the walls get closer
She will not be there to hold ya
I thought she would, who am I kidding?
Wander off now in separate wagons
Horse drawn and not without its own flaws
And I'm surely one of them
It's a cold day when sons teach fathers wisdom
And roll their eyes behind them
And feel the burden, and feel the burden
Don't mean to sound misleading
But no use ever came from grieving
She said she would but she didn't
And if the walls get closer
She will not be there to hold ya
I thought she would, who am I kidding?
I took the last train homeward
Searching for the world I'd savoured
I thought it'd look the same but it didn't
Remind me of the warmth you harbour
Or let go of the pains it brought ya
I thought you could, who was I kidding?
Let the dust sit and carve her name right through it
Remind yourself she don't fit anymore
She's been here too recently to dismiss
And standing where you last kissed
Some time ago now, some time ago now
Don't mean to sound misleading
But no use ever came from grieving
She said she would but she didn't
And if the walls get closer
She will not be there to hold ya
I thought she would, who am I kidding?
Wander off now in separate wagons
Horse drawn and not without its own flaws
And I'm surely one of them
It's a cold day when sons teach fathers wisdom
And roll their eyes behind them
And feel the burden, and feel the burden
Don't mean to sound misleading
But no use ever came from grieving
She said she would but she didn't
And if the walls get closer
She will not be there to hold ya
I thought she would, who am I kidding?
I took the last train homeward
Searching for the world I'd savoured
I thought it'd look the same but it didn't
Remind me of the warmth you harbour
Or let go of the pains it brought ya
I thought you could, who was I kidding?
