You’re the Weight (live/1977) Songtext
von Nils Lofgren

Start on over I need you
You′re the reason that I'm desire
Just watch me beg for the shaking you offer
Can′t drink you out of my mind
Sink my ship in your ocean
Warm me with the wave of desire
It won't be long before it turns to fire
Can't drink you out of my mind
You′re the kiss that can crush my heart
I get crazy from the very start
Gone helpless when I put you on
Your love goes on me like a light of dawn
I′v been asleep for a hundred years
I'm a dizzy fool stumbling over my tears
You′re the soft thing that I adore
You're the weight I′ve been waiting for
You're the weight I′ve been waiting
(You're the weight) I've been waiting for so long
You′re the weight I′ve been waiting for, Waiting
I've been running so blindly


Hidden shadows I′m searching
To satisfy a desperate lady
Can't drink you out of my mind
You′re the kiss that can crush my heart
I get crazy from the very start
Gone helpless when I put you on
Your love goes on me like a light at dawn
I've been asleep for a million years
I′m a dizzy fool stumbling over my tears
You're the soft thing that I adore
You're the weight I′ve been waiting for
(You′re the weight)
(You're the weight) I′ve been waiting so long
Oh, you're the kiss that can crush my heart
I get crazy from the very start
Gone helpless when i put you on
Your love goes on me like a light at dawn
I′ve been asleep for a million years
I'm a dizzy fool crying only tears
You′re the soft thing that I adore
You're the weight I've been waiting for
(You′re the weight)
(You′re the weight) I've been waiting
(You′re the weight) You're the weight I′ve been waiting for
You're the weight, yeah
You′re the weight
You're the weight I've been waiting for
You′re the weight
You′re the weight
