Weight Of The Sky-Album Version - Randy Stonehill

Weight Of The Sky - Randy Stonehill
Michael was funny
He was charming and wild
In my high school days he was
The king of the street
Rode his Harley down
Blossom Hill Road
And his life was over
In a heartbeat
Not me
I think I'm gonna stick around
I've just got to find out
How this movie ends
And as I stumble through
The mystery of this life
I'm gonna keep on trying
To find a friend
Danny was an actor
He was quick and he was good
But his eyes betrayed a sadness
That troubled me
One night they found his
Empty car down on the beach
He'd just taken off his clothes
And walked into the sea
Not me
I think I'm gonna stick around
I've just got to find out
How this movie ends
And as I stumble through
The mystery of this life
I'm gonna keep on trying
To find a friend
Find a friend
Lost and drifting on
The river of longing
Bowed and bloody from
The weight of the sky
Longing to call out for
Someone's forgiveness
But we're not sure
Who or why
Maybe we're frightened
Like children in the darkness
Chasing shadows in the
Strangest dreams
Sometimes living feels
Harder than dying
Sometimes it feels like
We're trapped in between
In between
Mickey was so beautiful
And gentle and kind
The last time I saw her
I almost cried
She'd married a sailor
Who liked to use his fists
She could bandage all
The cuts but she was dead inside
Not me
I think I'm gonna stick around
I've just got to find
Out how this movie ends
And as I stumble through
The mystery of this life
I'm gonna keep on trying
To find a friend
Find a friend
Find a friend
