lyrics

Covered in dust, I really must
Get myself home tonight
Cause just between us, it’s you I trust
To make things alright

You carry the weight, with you to bed
And it will keep me down
Cause I’ve been rising, early just like an old man outside of town

My walking is done and I hardly run
In my present state
But I can be found, still covering ground
In this lonely race

You carry the weight, with you to bed
It will keep me down
Cause I’ve been rising, early just like a young man headed to town

So lie with me now, I won’t make a sound
Your breath is all you’ll hear
And slowly you’ll fall, into the thrall
Of all your dreams so near

We carried the weight, with us to bed
And it will keep me down
I won’t go rising, early just like another man leaving town.
No I won’t go rising, early just like another man leaving town.
