a song the words you choose when you want to help someone you love ....
neo retro adult comtemporary alt-country folk rock pop............
Story behind the song
I saw this movie called the" Fountain " about a woman dying of cancer
Lyrics
Carry This weight
V1
I am not a rock , I am not a mountain
I am not a river for her to cross
I am not an Island I am not a fountain
to quench her thirst when she can't talk
I am not the the rain , I am not the wind
trouble howling at her back
I am not a bullet with butterfly wings
to lift her high when darkness attacks
Chorus :
Still I carry this weight
I drag my legs to her door
we sit in space and when it's getting late
her words fall like dry leaves to the floor
my thoughts are sand drifting away
forgetting everything I need
I'll take all her worries with me today
Carry this weight
V2
Send an angel from up above
send a love that I can touch
Send a ship with white sails flowing
a wedding veil that I can catch
I am not the kind to clip her feathers
she's a dove I can't offer much
I am not an eagle diving to her rescue
I am the whippoorwill a calling thrush
Chorus again
Bridge :
carry this weight, carry this weight, carry this weight
I might not be that strong
but in my arms I know she belongs
Chorus again
Sounds like a cross between Country and Pop with Rock overtones. :) Nice job, David..you play such a lovely guitar. :)
