Burden on the Wind by Joseph Huber Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And the words that you sang
Weren't like when you began
No longer meant for their ears or for their hands
And your straight and narrow course
How it shifted back and forth
’Til you lost sight of all that you could plan

[Refrain 1]
And now your sins, how they cling
But don't you let the words you sing
Be a burden on the wind

[Verse 2]
Now your bullets are long fired
And your guns all retired
Long resigned from the job that you were hired
And the days seem so long
Since the days when you were gone
Now you stand silent like the truth among lies
[Refrain 2]
And still your ears, how they ring
While you rend reason's wings
Like a burden on the wind

[Verse 3]
While your friends tip-toe around
Many strangers will crown
You with the knowledge between love and high regard
And while others forget well
You can’t forget yourself
Who could have known forgiveness could be so hard?

[Refrain 3]
And still your sins, how they sting
From your days between kings
Until you feel simpler things
They be a burden on the wind
No don't you let the words you sing be a burden on the wind
