The Weight Of The Wind
A-Ha · Scoundrel Days
You've come to lose some memories
Like you came to touch new grounds
But you want to lose
The weight of the wind
Rests hard on your shoulders
It's bringing you down
The one that you love
Will never be found
You speak into the falling rain
Words you'd lost, but found again
I see their snakey arms entwined
So clear and cruel
In your jealous mind
But you've got to lose
The weight of the wind
Hard on your shoulders
Getting you down
The one that you love
Will never be found
