If only I could write a song
that held you in the notes
Or find a brush that's soft enough
To paint the kindness in your face

'Cause I had a heavy load
Had a heavy load that I had carried far
cnd you had a set of wings
Had a set of wings
So I could fly beside you

cnd the spring that finally came
Coaxing naked trees to flame
There you came and stood so near
cnd I took the splinter from your hand

'Cause I had a heavy load
Had a heavy load that I had carried far
cnd you had a set of wings
Had a set of wings
So I could fly beside you
