Love is bearing down on me
Her weight, like wind, is all around me
Like rain to the concrete,
Her pitter-pats just march me mad

I'll bear it no more
I'll falter and fold into
A world that's sinking with
The weight of her dead and departed
And one by one, the marblehearted

Now I'm as lonesome as can be
Like a horse-thief stuck at sea
Since I stole the last loveflower
From that lonesome, old ash creek tower

Though her harp draws from a woeful well
And her lyre plucks her strings with hell
I hope love will possess you
I hope life will caress you even with
A calloused hand to guard your marbleheart

Love is bearing down on me
Her weight, like wind, is all around me

I grin and bear it away
I'll falter and fade into
A world that's sinking with
The weight of her dead and departed
And everyday grow's marble-hearted
