Yeah they say the heart is just a couple inches wide

Divided by muscle into right and left sides

Just a hollow organ placed between the lungs

Only eight to ten ounces in a woman

Just an ordinary Autumn pain

It's just that the darkness, earlier came

It's just that the snow fell crashing down

It's just that I won't be seeing you around

Explain to me this weight

Explain to me this heaviness

Yeah the logging trucks come rolling in

With their piles of Redwoods like so many dead kings

And all along the midway, scraps of Redwood skin

The end will always escape reason

Explain to me this weight

Explain to me this heaviness
