Well I bumped inside the magic man And he laid some tricks on me He said, you do need help my friend I whispered, obviously He laid a spread of jacks and queens And he bade me take my pick But every face it had your face I cried out, I am sick
Sick of hauling your love around Want to run the train alone But the engine tracks straight through your heart And weighs me like a stone
Oh, it's a hard load to love you It takes up all my time, having you So familiar Like last life's Nursery rhyme
So I gave away the pictures And your golden ring And the phone calls you sent me And the silver birds that sing Then the man he told me something That really brought me down Your things were thrown away, it's true But you were still in town
Sick of hauling your love around Wanna run the train alone But the engine tracks straight through your heart And weighs me like a stone
Oh, it's a hard load to love you It takes up all my time, having you So familiar Like last life's Nursery rhyme
The magician let a message It flashes when I hide Accept the chains of loving Accept or else remove yourself from her side And do without her love And I lay back with a steel chain I keep it by my side I could mail a letter to you but I still Have my pride
Sick of hauling your love around Wanna run the train alone But the engine tracks straight through your heart And weighs me like a stone
Three times I've sent you back from me Three times my bones gone dry And three times I've seen the shooting shark Lighting up the sky
Oh, it's a hard load to love you, babe It takes my breath away The fourth time round Is the last time round There's nothing else to say
