lyrics

And the words that you sang
Weren't like when they began,
No longer meant for their ears or for their hands.
And your straight and narrow course
How it shifted back and forth
'Til you lost sight of all that you could plan.
And now your sins
How they sting,
But don't you let the words you sing
Be a burden on the wind.

Now your bullets are long fired
And your guns all retired,
Long resigned from the job to which you were hired.
Now the days seem so long
Since those days when you were gone
And you stand silent like the truth among liars.
Still your ears
How they ring
While you rend
Reason's wings
Like a burden on the wind.

While your friends tip toe round
Many a strangers will crown
You with knowledge between love and high regard.
And while others forget well,
You can't forget yourself,
Who could have known forgiveness could be so hard.
Still your sins
How they cling
From your days
Between kings
'Til you feel
Simpler things
They be a burden on the wind.

His songs are lyrical, but he knows a good hook. ... more
