Lyrics
When twilight turns your blues and greens to gray
In the waning of the day
And you feel you can't get started
It's hard for me to say
But I just cannot walk away
When I see you
So heavy hearted
Oh so heavy hearted
You ride your lands -- you sail your boat
You stay afloat
How do your oceans remain uncharted?
And here amongst the beauties of the night
It's barely light still I see you
So heavy hearted
Oh so heavy hearted
Is there nothing I can do
To lighten up your load?
Is there nothing I can give you
With all that you are owed?
The night grows older, cold and deep
no way across your secret sea
the waters have not parted
another day begins to dawn
and as the darkness is withdrawn
It's you so heavy hearted
oh so heavy hearted
