The Burden

Let the dust sit and carve her name right through it Remind yourself she don't fit anymore She's been here too recently to dismiss And standing where you last kissed Some time ago now, some time ago now Don't mean to sound misleading But no use ever came from grieving She said she would but she didn't And if the walls get closer She will not be there to hold ya I thought she would, who am I kidding? Wander off now in separate wagons Horse drawn and not without its own flaws And I'm surely one of them It's a cold day when sons teach fathers wisdom And roll their eyes behind them And feel the burden, and feel the burden Don't mean to sound misleading But no use ever came from grieving She said she would but she didn't And if the walls get closer She will not be there to hold ya I thought she would, who am I kidding? I took the last train homeward Searching for the world I'd savoured I thought it'd look the same but it didn't Remind me of the warmth you harbour Or let go of the pains it brought ya I thought you could, who was I kidding? --- The Burden - William The Conqueror
