Love is bearing down on me.
Her weight, like wind, is all around me.
Like rain to the concrete,
Her pitter-pats just march me mad.
I'll bear it no more.
I'll falter and fold into
A world that's sinking with
The weight of her dead and departed
And one by one, the marblehearted.
Now I'm as lonesome as can be.
Like a horse-thief stuck at sea.
Since I stole the last loveflower
From that lonesome, old ash creek tower.
Though her harp draws from a woeful well
And her lyre plucks her strings with hell
I hope love will possess you.
I hope life will caress you even with
A calloused hand to guard your marbleheart.
Love is bearing down on me.
Her weight, like wind, is all around me.
I grin and bear it away
I'll falter and fade into
A world that's sinking with
The weight of her dead and departed
And everyday grow's marble-hearted.
