We did everything we could To slow this world down Now my love Is in the ground Shoulder-to-shoulder Eye-to-eye I wish this were farewell But I'm afraid it's goodbye It weighs heavy on my mind Oh, so heavy on my mind It weighs heavy on my mind Oh, so heavy on my mind Sometimes I wish Sometimes I fall in the well A lock in a safe In a cage in a cell We can wait out the storm Or we can stand in the rain Gonna have to mourn Or hide from some pain It weighs heavy on my mind Oh, so heavy on my mind It weighs heavy on my mind Heavy on my mind And if one night The whole world saw the light The unknown made itself clear A familiar sound Heard from all around Telling us there's nothing to fear It weighs heavy on my mind Heavy, heavy on my mind So heavy on my mind
