I run into the ocean Wash them blood off of my hands Turn my eyes toward heaven As if to receive a plan You don't have to go I must face this alone You don't have to go I will carry the load It'll drag you down Like the weight of a stone Like the weight of a stone Sky glistened black like sable A chill was in the air Baby sleeping in the cradle Men gather in the square You don't have to go I must face this alone You don't have to go I will carry the load It'll drag you down Like the weight of a stone It'll drag you down Sitting at the kitchen table The good book in her hand A horse whinnies in the stable The witness takes the stand You don't have to go I must face this alone You don't have to go I will carry the load It'll drag you down Like the weight of a stone It'll drag you down
