Weight of My Love Songtext
von David Thomas Broughton

Can′t get a job, I can't tie down a living,
can′t get by on the pittance they're giving,
can't afford a taxi from Otley to Leeds,
But that′s not the weight I carry with me.
Can′t get a job, I can't tie down a living,
can′t get by on the pittance they're giving.
I can′t get a job, I can't tie down a living,
can′t get by on the pittance they're giving.
can't afford a pasty from the Gregg′s bakery,
That′s not the stone I carry with me.
not the weight I carry with me
I'll build it from matches,
I′ll build it from straw,


I'd build it from bricks if only I could afford,
I′ll build you house for to live my love.
I'll build you house for to live.
A box of cedar,
A box of pine,
A hole in the ground would do just fine,
I′ll dig you a grave for to sleep my love.
dig you a grave for to sleep my love.
I can't get a job, I can't tie down a living,
can′t get by on the pittance they′re giving.
can't afford a pasty from the Gregg′s bakery,
That's not the weight I carry with me.
It′s not the weight I carry with me.
