lyrics

I’m leaving it on your shoulders to see
If it will be bought, the price of our being
Let’s open it up, the package of treats
We might find a different view
We may have knew
We covered it up, the mess that we made
It’s growing a bug, and we’ve gotta change
The burden I’ve brought, the ache and displace
And I know it’s made you blue,
I just wish I thought it through

Cause we could belong again
Let’s make a hard attempt
No breaking, fold or bend
If we’re to make it up
Even the lonely know, friend

But we will go on
Precious indeed
And it won’t be long
‘Til you will agree
It’s simple to know
The joy you can bring
We’ll sound off another cue
Come running up through you

We could belong again
Let’s make a hard attempt
No resting on regret
If we’re to make it up
Even the lonely know, friend
