I am an immigrants son
Restless and foreign to my bones
And from the day my youth was done
I've longed for a place to call my home
And I wanted to believe that I wouldnʼt be better off alone
But home ainʼt what you leave
It's all you carry with you when you go
It's all you carry with you when you go
Can you make this heavy heart of mine Light as a feather
Let it float down the river till it all runs dry
And I donʼt need to know where Iʼm headed
I just hope when I get there
Youʼll lay down at my side
I am a lonely sculptorʼs son
I carry her burden in my name
And the work is never done
For either the chisel or the clay
I said youʼre either the chisel or the clay
Can you make this heavy heart of mine Light as a feather
Let it float down the river till it all runs dry
And I donʼt need to know where Iʼm headed
I just hope when I get there
Youʼll lay down at my side
We can float down the river till it all runs dry
We can float down the river till it all runs dry
Can you make this heavy heart of mine Light as a feather
Let it float down the river till it all runs dry
And I donʼt need to know where Iʼm headed
I just hope when I get there
Youʼll can lay down at my side
We can float down the river till it all runs dry
We can float down the river till it all runs dry
