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
Wanna run
My 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
My 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
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
My 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
Fourth time round
Is the last time round
There's nothing else to say
