I'm at your back door With the earth of a hundred nations in my skin You wouldn't recognize me For the light in my eyes is strange It was years ago, god knows When you strained to tell me your whole truth That you were not mine to save That you could not change Well, would it be enough to go by If we could sail on the wind in the dark Cut those chains in the middle of the night That had you pulled apart Would it be enough to go by If there's moonlight pulling the tide Would it be enough to live on If my love could keep you alive I've built a lot of castles I've built a lot of blazing speed-of-light machines But it doesn't matter, you know They all crumble in the winds of change So I turned back to breathing I learned a few good reasons to cry And I finally called home Praying you weren't out of range Carry the weight I'll carry the weight of you, I swear Carry the weight I'll carry the weight of you Would it be enough to go by If we could sail on the wind in the dark Cut those chains in the middle of the night That had you pulled apart Would it be enough to go by If there's moonlight pulling the tide Would it be enough to live on If my love could keep you alive So will you let me come in The mosquitoes have found me And they're crowding 'round my blood At least offer me a drink Or a breaking of the ice I'm wanting your anger I only want to see if I can shake you out of sleep And bring you out under this flooded sky At any price So carry the weight Carry the weight of me in your heart Carry the weight Carry the weight of me Would it be enough to go by If we could sail on the wind in the dark Cut those chains in the middle of the night That had you pulled apart Would it be enough to go by If there's moonlight pulling the tide Would it be enough to live on If my love could keep you alive If my love could keep you alive
