about

A song about the day Anna and the girls and I watched them cut down the big elm tree in our front yard, and all seemed lost.

lyrics

MY WINGS ARE HEAVY (BUT I THINK WE CAN MAKE IT TO THE SUN)

A
All the things we want, to be,
Em
And all the things we want, to have, compete
A
And when they’re done, there’s just,defeat -- for you and me,
Em
Oh baby don’t you see?
G A
It’s time to let go...
G A
Jump off the cardboard boxes we been standing
G A
On.... for so long...
C G
My wings are heavy but -- I think we can make it to the

A
Sun ....a sphere, that pale old orb of heat and
Em
Fear, they took away our shady tree
A
and we’ve been sweating here
Em
Beneath the fist of some other body’s heaven
G A
I blame me
G A
I blame everything I think I need
G A
Time to let go
C G
Close our eyes and descend from the roofing to the

A
Sea...a deeper green than we have ever
Em
seen before -- it’s swallowing
A
the difference between
Em
and making everything so sparkling clean,

G A
and aus tere
G
Just like the good old days
A
Before we got here
G A
My -- my dear
C G
My wings are heavy but I think
We can make it through the

sun....(instrumental verse)

End on:

C G
My wings are heavy but I think
We can make it through the
A
sun....
