relief
Adrianne Lenker
[Verse 1]
So much pulling you away
You seem so much older
The weight of the way it is today
The weight of the world on your shoulders
[Chorus]
I don’t want you to have to lift
This burden anymore
I wish I could give you the gift
Of relief
[Verse 2]
Hazy looking through
The window smeared with blood
A hard rain hurricane and you
In the center of the flood
[Chorus]
I don’t want you to have to lift
This burden anymore
I wish I could give you the gift
Of relief
[Verse 3]
Brown eyes turn blue
A child can’t keep from laughing
Though the wound on his neck is new
And the lady stands there asking
[Chorus]
I don’t want you to have to lift
This burden anymore
I wish I could give you the gift
I wish I could give you the gift
Of relief
