Lyrics: Beth Gibbons
Music: Beth Gibbons/Lee Harris
The summer breeze, the days were long
Meadow haze so callowly, those child eyes
I used to feel the feelings
Love that I once said I'd never rile
The burden of life
Just won't leave us alone
And the time's never right
When you're trading the sun
All the love of generations
Generations gone for reasons, that I know
But all the times I've lost my way
Crept inside, tried not to sway
Like pebbles on the shore
The burden of life
Just won't leave us alone
And the time's never right
When you're trading the sun
So all the fire, the fear, the why
The wisdom why you want it now
No answers are there
No answers of why
'Cause the burden of life
Just won't leave us alone
And the time's never right
When you're losing a soul
