Lyrics
Take Away The Load
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I sit and wonder at the thought
That someday you'll be going
At the same time I realize
I must not be afraid
You are the one I love
You are the one I touch
And it's you who must not go
But it's I who must try not
To send you away.
Out of my door and along the path
Where I have never travelled
Could it be that you would help me
Out along that road?
I only want your hand
I only want your smile
From you that is everything
From you that is all I need
To take away the load.
