"I'm at your back door
with the earth of a hundred nations in my skin"




"You won't recognize me
for the light in my eyes is strange"




"It was years ago, god knows
when you strained to tell me your whole truth"




"That you were not mine to save
that you could not change"




"Carry the weight
I'll carry the weight of you this time"




"Carry the weight
I'll carry the weight of you"




"Would it be enough to go by
If we could sail on the wind and the dark"




"Cut those chains in the middle of the night
That had you pulled apart"




"Would it be enough to go by
If there's moonlight pulling the tide"




"Would it be enough to live on
if my love could keep you alive"




"I've built a lot of castles
I've built a lot of blazing speed-of-light machines"




"But it doesn't matter, you know
they all crumble in the winds of change"




"So I turned back to breathing
I learned a few good reasons to cry"




"And I finally called home
praying you weren't out of range"




"Carry the weight
I'll carry the weight of you, I swear"




"Carry the weight
I'll carry the weight of you"




"Would it be enough to go by
if we could sail on the wind and the dark"




"Cut those chains in the middle of the night
that had you pulled apart"




"Would it be enough to go by
if there's moonlight pulling the tide"




"Would it be enough to live on
if my love could keep you alive"




"So will you let me come in?"




"Mosquitoes have found me
and they're crowding 'round my blood"




"At least offer me a drink
or a breaking of the ice"




"I'm wanting your anger
I only want to see if I can shake you out of sleep"




"And bring you out under this flooded sky
at any price"




"So carry the weight
carry the weight of me in your heart"




"Carry the weight
carry the weight of me"




"Would it be enough to go by
if we could sail on the wind and the dark"




"Cut those chains in the middle of the night
that had you pulled apart"




"Would it be enough to go by
if there's moonlight pulling the tide"




"Would it be enough to live on
if my love could keep you alive..."
