elton john – weight of the world lyrics
i’m weary and i’m staying up late
and the rain hits my roof so hard
you know i’m no longer thirty
these days i’m happy to play
one or two hands of cards
i hate flies in the kitchen buzzing
disturbing the peace i’ve found
fortune and fame is so fleeting
these days i’m happy to say
i’m amazed that i’m still around
and the weight of the world is off my back
when we fell, we got up
and crawled out the cracks
excuse me if i take some comfort in that
happy today, happy to play
with the weight of the world off of my back
humidity hangs like a curtain
oh, it fogs up my gl-sses sometimes
you know i’ve still got my eyesight
these days i’m happy to see
a sunset instead of a line
and the weight of the world is off my back
when we fell, we got up
and crawled out the cracks
excuse me if i take some comfort in that
happy today, happy to play
with the weight of the world off of my back
there’s a long list of names
that i don’t recall
even though my memory’s good
the rain washed away
the lemons and weeds
when the weight of the world weighed more than it should
i hate flies in the kitchen buzzing
disturbing the peace i’ve found
fortune and fame is so fleeting
these days i’m happy to say
i’m amazed that i’m still around
and the weight of the world is off my back
when we fell, we got up
and crawled out the cracks
excuse me if i take some comfort in that
happy today, happy to play
with the weight of the world off of my back
happy today, happy to play
with the weight of the world off of my back
