I try to fly away but it's impossible And every breath I take gives birth to deeper sighs And for a moment I am weak So it's hard for me to speak Even though we're underneath the same blue sky If I could paint a picture of this melody It would be a violin without its strings And the canvas in my mind Sings the songs I left behind Like pretty flowers and a sunset [Chorus] It's heavy on my heart I can't make it alone Heavy on my heart I can't find my way home Heavy on my heart So come and free me It's so heavy on my heart I've had my share of pleasure And I've tasted pain I never thought that I would touch an angel's wings There's a journey in my eyes It's getting hard for me to hide Like the ocean at the sunrise [Chorus] Love, can you find me in the darkness, and love, Don't let me down There's a journey in my eyes It's getting hard for my to hide And I never thought I'd touch an angel's wings Whoo [Chorus: x2]
