Well i bumped inside the magic man |
|
And he laid some tricks on me |
|
He said, "you do need help my friend" |
|
I whispered, "obviously" |
|
He laid a spread of jacks and queens |
|
And he bade me take my pick |
|
But every face it had your face |
|
I cried out, "i am sick" |
|
Sick of hauling your love around |
|
Want to run the train alone |
|
But the engine tracks straight through your heart |
|
And weighs me like a stone |
|
Oh, it's a hard load to love you |
|
It takes up all my time, having you |
|
So familiar |
|
Like last life's |
|
Nursery rhyme |
|
So i gave away the pictures |
|
And your golden ring |
|
And the phone calls you sent me |
|
And the silver birds that sing |
|
Then the man he told me something |
|
That really brought me down |
|
Your things were thrown away, it's true |
|
But you were still in town |
|
Sick of hauling your love around |
|
Wanna run the train alone |
|
But the engine tracks straight through your heart |
|
And weighs me like a stone |
|
Oh, it's a hard load to love you |
|
It takes up all my time, having you |
|
So familiar |
|
Like last life's |
|
Nursery rhyme |
|
The magician let a message |
|
It flashes when i hide |
|
Accept the chains of loving |
|
Accept or else remove yourself from her side |
|
And do without her love |
|
And i lay back with a steel chain |
|
I keep it by my side |
|
I could mail a letter to you but i still |
|
Have my pride |
|
Sick of hauling your love around |
|
Wanna run the train alone |
|
But the engine tracks straight through your heart |
|
And weighs me like a stone |
|
Three times i've sent you back from me |
|
Three times my bones gone dry |
|
And three times i've seen the shooting shark |
|
Lighting up the sky |
|
Oh, it's a hard load to love you, babe |
|
It takes my breath away |
|
The fourth time round |
|
Is the last time round |
|
There's nothing else to say |
