[al:Don't Weigh Down the Light]
[00:51.36]So small and such a doll
[00:58.10]And where will you sleep tonight
[01:07.39]
[01:19.88]Oh shame days, the way they sting memory
[01:27.10]And we've just been staying in and playing bummer jams
[01:43.54]Around and around they go
[01:48.84]Back to when I knew your name
[02:00.58]
[02:21.32]And how I don't miss those long summer days
[02:28.80]Oh when I'd dream of rain
[02:39.18]
[02:52.84]Where do we draw circles closed
[02:57.42]When our dearest hurt the most?
[03:02.13]When they turn away, or just have to go
[03:17.96]
[03:37.46]We watch through silver leaves
[03:41.16]Through broken dark
[03:44.85]Through eyes closed
[03:55.44]
[04:05.93]We move to happier days
[04:10.67]And forget the year when bummer jams
[04:16.67]helped keep the lights on here
[04:24.51]
[04:28.54]And you thought your sad songs could save the night
[04:44.88]Could weigh down the light just long enough to keep her
[04:56.85]
