A weakness and a strength by Timothy Seth Avett As Darling Lyrics

[Verse 1]
give me a window so I can look out there and see the world I’m in
for all the sadness found there’s bound to be some happiness within
I have this feeling we’re not dealing here with heaven or with hell
I’m not a troublemaker but I have made some trouble for myself

[Verse 2]
give me the light and I will pass it on as best as I know how
but you should know I will be calling at your door if mine goes out
some people who do not approve of how we live are bound to say
but we don’t hear them, we’re so sorry, but we’re just too far away

[Verse 3]
they had a funeral with beautiful flowers for the wife
I hope she doesn’t stay alone for the rest of her life
I don’t suppose it’s up to you or me to call it right or wrong
but he was the kind of man who’d understand one day she should move on

[Verse 4]
give me a window so I can open it and let the summer in
don’t have to be religiously inclined to comprehend my sin
for every crime there is a storyline, infinite in length
and as providence would plan,
for every man,a weakness and a strength
for every man, a weakness and a strength
for every man, a weakness and a strength
