Corner of 9th, avenue a Postcard arrived in may Knew by the lick of the stamp it would say You are resilient, we'll be okay But all the weight of that day Price that we pay Things that just won't go away And the things that won't stay Sign of divine intervention we found Sign of the times got flipped it around Watch what you wish for And pay by the pound If you're in new york And don't make a sound But all the weight of this town Is bringing me down Trying to lose what i found Won't just set it down Just set it down If the streets not on the time If the world tilts till you fall If the only words that rhyme Don't mean anything at all You have to do Is come back home I'm missing you Come back home I'll sing for you This song It only sounds like All the weight of this town Is bringing me down Trying to lose what i found But just set it down All the weight of this town It's bringing me down Trying to lose what i found Just set it down All the weight of this town Is bringing me down Trying to lose what i found No, just set it down All the weight of this town Is bringing me down All the weight of this town Is bringing me down All the weight of this town Is bringing me down
