Randy Stonehill Album: Return To Paradise Track: Weight of the Sky
Weight of the Sky Lyrics
Michael was funny He was charming and wild In my high school days He was the king of the street Rode his Harley down Blossom Hill Road And his life was over in a heartbeat
Chorus
Not me I think I'm gonna stick around I've just got to find out how this movie ends And as I stumble through the mystery of this life I'm gonna keep on trying to find a friend
Danny was an actor He was quick and he was good But his eyes betrayed a sadness that troubled me One night they found his empty car down on the beach He'd just taken off his clothes and walked into the sea
Chorus
Lost and drifting On the river of longing Bowed and bloody from the weight of the sky Longing to call out for someone's forgiveness But we're not sure who or why Maybe we're frightened Like children in the darkness Chasing shadows in the strangest dream Sometimes living feels harder than dying Sometimes it feels like we're trapped in between In between
Mickey was so beautiful And gentle and kind The last time I saw her I almost cried She'd married a sailor who liked to use his fists She could bandage all the cuts But she was dead inside
