Indigo Girls - World Falls Lyrics

I'm coming home with a stone
Strapped onto my back
I'm coming home with a burning hope
Turning all my blues to black
I'm looking for a sacred hand
Carve into my stone
A ghost of comforts, angel's Breath
To keep this life inside my chest
This world falls on me
Hopes of immortality
Everywhere I turn all the beauty
Just keeps shaking me

Now I woke up in the middle of a dream
Scared the world was too much for me
Sejarez said, "Don't leg go, just plant the seeds
And watch them grow."
I've slept in rainy canyon lands
Cold drenched to my skin
I always wake to find a face
Calm these troubled lands
Ah, this world falls on me
With dreams of immortality
Everywhere I turn all the beauty
Just keeps shaking me

Now I'm running to the end of the earth
And I'm swimming to the edge of the sea
And I'm laughing, I'm under a starry sky
This world was meant for me (ah ah)
Don't bury me (ah ah ah ah, carry me)
I wish I was a nomad, an Indian, or a saint
The edge of death would disappear
Leave me nothing left to taint
I wish I was a nomad, an Indian, or a saint
Give me walking shoes, feathered arms
And a key to heaven's gate
Ah, this world falls on me (world falls on me)
Dreams of immortality
Everywhere I turn all the beauty (everywhere I turn)
Just keeps shaking me

(This world falls on me)
I'm running to the end of the earth (with hopes of immortality)
I'm swimming to the edge of the sea (everywhere I turn)
(Beauty just keeps on shaking me)
And I'm laughing, I'm under a starry sky (this world falls on me)
'Cause I'm under starry skies (with hopes if immortality)
This world was meant for me (everywhere I turn)
I got hopes of immortality
