WEIGHT OF THE SKY
|
|
Michael was funny
|
He was charming and wild
|
In my high school days
|
He was the king of the street
|
Rode his Harley down Blossom Hill Road
|
And his life was over in a heartbeat
|
|
Chorus
|
Not me
|
I think I'm gonna stick around
|
I've just got to find out how this movie ends
|
And as I stumble through the mystery of this life
|
I'm gonna keep on trying
|
To find a friend
|
|
Danny was an actor
|
He was quick and he was good
|
But his eyes betrayed a sadness that troubled me
|
One night they found his empty car down on the beach
|
He'd just taken off his clothes and walked into the sea
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Lost and drifting
|
On the river of longing
|
Bowed and bloody from the weight of the sky
|
Longing to call out for someone's forgiveness
|
But we're not sure who or why
|
Maybe we're frightened
|
Like children in the darkness
|
Chasing shadows in the strangest dream
|
Sometimes living feels harder than dying
|
Sometimes it feels like we're trapped in between
|
In between
|
|
Mickey was so beautiful
|
And gentle and kind
|
The last time I saw her I almost cried
|
She'd married a sailor who liked to use his fists
|
She could bandage all the cuts
|
But she was dead inside
|
|
Chorus
