| Lyrics |
Well I bumped inside the magic man
And he laid some tricks on me
He said, you do need help my friend
I whispered, obviously
He laid a spread of jacks and queens
And he bade me take my pick
But every face it had your face
I cried out, I am sick
Sick of hauling your love around
Want to run the train alone
But the engine tracks straight through your heart
And weighs me like a stone
Oh, it's a hard load to love you
It takes up all my time, having you
So familiar
Like last life's
Nursery rhyme
So I gave away the pictures
And your golden ring
And the phone calls you sent me
And the silver birds that sing
Then the man he told me something
That really brought me down
Your things were thrown away, it's true
But you were still in town
Sick of hauling your love around
Wanna run the train alone
But the engine tracks straight through your heart
And weighs me like a stone
Oh, it's a hard load to love you
It takes up all my time, having you
So familiar
Like last life's
Nursery rhyme
The magician let a message
It flashes when I hide
Accept the chains of loving
Accept or else remove yourself from her side
And do without her love
And I lay back with a steel chain
I keep it by my side
I could mail a letter to you but I still
Have my pride
Sick of hauling your love around
Wanna run the train alone
But the engine tracks straight through your heart
And weighs me like a stone
Three times I've sent you back from me
Three times my bones gone dry
And three times I've seen the shooting shark
Lighting up the sky
Oh, it's a hard load to love you, babe
It takes my breath away
The fourth time round
Is the last time round
There's nothing else to say
