Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
The burden of life
Just won't leave us alone
And the time's never right
When you're trading the sun
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
The burden of life
Just won't leave us alone
And the time's never right
When we're trading the sun
[Bridge]
So all the fire, the fear, the why
The wisdom why you want it now
No answers are there
No answers of why
[Chorus]
'Cause the burden of life
Just won't leave us alone
And the time's never right
When you're losing a soul
Written by: Beth Gibbons, Lee Harris
