That heavy lifting

THAT HEAVY LIFTING (E A D G B E)

When the rain came down on us I almost cried. I looked you in the eye and you just laughed. Before the world caught up to us I was sure as the ocean deep. Before the dark clouds opened and let us go.

 

I was sure as the colour green when we ran. I felt the world fading away behind our backs. And then the sun caught up to us because everything has to end a. She said:

 

I’ve kept you warm enough and that heavy lifting is bad for your back.

That heavy lifting won’t get you far.

That heavy lifting is no substitute for lack of understanding.

 

So we closed our eyes and turned our chins towards the sky.
