Альбом Willie Nelson

Well I used to walk stooped
From the weight of my tears
I just started laying my burdens down
I used to duck bullets from the rifle of fear
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh I'm layin' 'em down
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh lay I'm layin' em down
I just started laying my burdens down

The flesh ain't nothing but the bark on a tree
I just started laying my burdens down
The tree ain't nothing but the soul in me
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh I'm layin' 'em down
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh lay I'm layin' em down
I just started laying my burdens down

My soul took love on a hell of a ride
I just started laying my burdens down
A soul ain't nothing but the car love drives
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh I'm layin' 'em down
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh lay I'm layin' em down
I just started laying my burdens down

Love said Mama can I come on home
I just started laying my burdens down
And God said son you ain't never been gone
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh I'm layin' 'em down
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh lay I'm layin' em down
I just started laying my burdens down

I've been walking in the shadows for so long that I forgot the sun can shine
I've turned away from everone and everything that wanted to be mine
Somehow I always shot my eyes and heart to everything that I could share
Now I'm standing still and I'm wondering just how long have you been there
And every path I've taken I have turned around and quickly closed the door
It seems as though I knew if I ever stop to feel I want more
I kept a steady run so my eyes could never focus anywhere
Now I'm standing still and I'm wondering just how long have you been there
How long have you been standing there protecting me from love that shouldn't be
Knowing all alone that I could realize that you were meant for me
Now I've got to mend every broken fence and bridge that I have burned
I've got to clear away the cobwebs in my heart so I can start to learn
For I realize that you've been waiting just to teach me how to care
Now I'm standing still and I'm wondering just how long have you been there
And now I'm standing still and I'm wondering just how long have you been there

The sense to see and I saw you walk away
The sense to feel and I feel lonely everyday
The sense to hear for I heard you say goodbye
The sense to taste now I can taste the tears that I cry
My senses tell me all that I need to know
It's over but I don't have the sense to let you go
It doesn't make much sense for me to cry for you
And if I had any sense at all I'd realize we're through
But my senses are reacting much too slow
And it's over but I don't have the sense to let you go
Yes it's over but I don't have the sense to let you go

I don't feel anything what was I worried for
I don't feel love or hate or anything that I felt before
Why was I so afraid of seeing you again
Cause it's the strangest thing I don't feel anything
How I must have loved you once upon a time
And I can't seem to feel emotion now of any kind
Why was I so afraid of seeing you again
Cause it's the strangest thing I don't feel anything

[ guitar ]

You look the same as always time's been good to you
But I must confess that time has done a few things for me too
Why was I so afraid...
But it's the strangest thing I don't feel anything

Well it's four a.m. and you're just gettin' in
Your first night out and I won't ask you where you've been
You're so ashamed and your eyes just can't meet mine
You've seen that look on me a thousand times
What makes us do the things we do heaven only knows
We think we have a secret but it always shows
And I taught you how to cheat you're doing fine
You've seen that look on me a thousand times
But I still love you and so I pretend and hope I'll never see that look again
But if we do I know the fault is mine I've seen that look on me a thousand times
I've seen that look on me a thousand times

I'm somewhere behind you
You've come with your suitcase in hand
Hey what you plan where do you stand
The world's still divided and you're still undersided the side if you can
Hey what you plan where do you stand
Where do you stand where do you stand
Hey what you plan where do you stand

It's time for commitments
It's time for a showing up hands
Hey what you plan where do you stand
Surely there's someone with courage
To say where he stands
Hey what you plan where do you stand
Where do you stand...
Where do you stand...

I'm sorry, but you've come to the wrong house.
But I know who those flowers are for.
The flowers that you have are for someone who's happy,
And happiness lives next door.

Someone sends her flowers each evening,
And her young heart is flooded with joy.
So don't keep her waiting, deliver the flowers,
To happiness, who lives next door.

The only one who would send flowers to me,
Is gone to return no more.
But there's some consolation to know someone is happy,
And happiness lives next door.

Instrumental break.

The only one who would send flowers to me,
Is gone to return no more.
But there's some consolation to know someone is happy,
And happiness lives next door.

When we live again
When we live again
Let's relive again
The time we know now
I'll find your face again
We'll find our place again
Let's plan to meet again, dear
When we live again
I'll know you by love and wisdom
In your eyes
And I'll wait for you
Outside the chambers of the wise
And let's not lose the day
The progress love has me
Let's plan to love again, dear
When we live again
I'll know you by love and wisdom
In your eyes
And I'll wait for you
Outside the chambers of the wise

She always follows me from town to town at least her mem'ries follow me around
Whenever I clear my mind so she can see I feel her love come rushing into me
I know that I will never be the law looks as though her memory's bound to haunt
And I know my love will always stay in bounds
With her memory always follow me around
Follow me around follow me around follow me around follow me around
And I know my love will always stay in bounds
With her memory always following me around

[ guitar ]

Follow me around follow me around...
With her memory always following me around
