Beth Hart - Weight Of The World

Daddy is blowing leaves around the lawn He's laughing and joking, and humming funny songs He's saying "you gotta stand for something child" His heart is wide open when he looks me in the eyes He says: " When the weight of the world is on your shoulders, the rope is getting thin - run for the hills, lay down in the water" but I just wanna come home. Home, home, home. Where I started from. Home, home, home Before the weight of the world Turns my heart to stone Mama is holding tomatoes in the yard And her hair is all golden, her soul's a superstar She's dancing to Billie's, "You gotta find your way" She keeps saying don't worry, I'll love you anyway. And she says: "If you ever feel like you don't matter, your best ain't good enough. Run for the hills, lay down in the water But I just wanna come home Home, home, home. Where I started from. Home, home, home Before the weight of the world Turns my heart to stone I was so lucky, as anyone could ever be. And my love is long, and deeper than the sea. No I never said it, and I hope you will forgive. 'Cause I thank you both for showing me how to live. If the weight of the world should leave you tired abandoned and stoned. I will be there I am your daughter - I'm coming home Home, home, home. I'm coming home Home, home, home Yeah, I'm coming home Before the weight of the world Turns my heart to stone
