Heart Song

Heart Song
Yeah they say the heart is just a couple inches wide
divided by muscle into right and left sides
just a hollow organ placed between the lungs
only eight to ten ounces in a woman

Just an ordinary autumn pain
it's just that the darkness, earlier came
it's just that the snow fell crashing down
it's just that i won't be seeing you around

Explain to me this weight
explain to me this heaviness

Yeah the logging trucks come rolling in
with their piles of redwoods like so many dead kings
and all along the midway, scraps of redwood skin
the end will always escape reason

Explain to me this weight
explain to me this heaviness
