When The Weight Comes Down - Lyrics

Title: When The Weight Comes Down
Artist: Tragically Hip
Composer(s): Robert Baker, John Fay, Gord Downie, Paul Langlois, Gordon Sinclair

Lyric:
Afternoon, see a guy with rubies on his head
And he's shifting like, shifting like he was dead
And he's hearing something, she never said
On his way back home under his bed

When the weight comes down
When the weight comes down

In the night there's a girl who doesn't mind her ragged sleeves
Knowing someone soon is gonna grieve
And a man, he tells her a story, she just don't believe
Called Adam never could do right by Eve

When the weight comes down
When the weight comes down
When the weight comes down
Put down on you, down on me

And a girl walks by the burning bush
She asks, "What's gone wrong here, man?"
And he smiles, says "Open wide, wide, wide"

In my dreams, a candy coated train comes to my door
With a little girl, I can't have anymore
And you know a letter washes up to the shore
That I cannot read and I probably should ignore, oh no

When the weight comes down
And the weight comes down
When the weight
When the weight comes down

Down on me, down on me
Down on me, oh no
And then I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe
Get out, get out,
Get out, get out
Get out, no
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no
No, no no
