Weightless

Chris Whitley


The ground gives as you go 
With all them secrets that you know 
As if to give nothing away 
Of the signals you obey 
You're weightless as a child 
Falling from above 
Helpless to your size 
Lonelier than God 
Footsteps, empty room 
As if a temple or a tomb 
The bed gives where you lay 
As if to give nothing away 
Of the power you betray 
You're weightless as a child 
Falling from above 
Helpless to your size 
Lonelier than God 
Lonelier than God 
Falling from above 
You're weightless as a child
