A Man Possessed

lyrics

Hard and full of pride
We were shooting the breeze on the day you died
Out by the paper mill
Where the river flows past the Queens Park hill
All quiet with a slight south breeze
Sweat on our hands and dirt on our knees
And I tried to not let go
But I hadn’t the strength and man I moved too slow

Some mistakes can’t be undone
So you carry the weight like a loaded gun
Some mistakes you can’t make right
And they’re the ones that keep you awake at night

No one could meet my eye
Your father was pale and your mum just cried
My folks they tried their best
They held my hand while you were laid to rest
While the crowd gave sideways looks
I stood at the grass while my legs just shook
The tears began to fall
As I dropped to my knees and began to bawl

Too young to face arrest
So I carry the weight just like a man possessed
I carry the weight like a man possessed
I carry the weight like a man possessed
