[Verse 1]
The summer breeze, the days were long
Meadow haze so callow[?] with those child eyes
I used to feel the feelings
Love that I once said I'd never rile
[Chorus]
The burden of life just won't leave us alone
And the time's never right when you're trading the soul
[Verse 2]
All the love of generations
Generations gone for reasons that I know
But all the times I've lost my way
Grippеd inside, tried not to sway like pеbbles on the shore
[Chorus]
The burden of life just won't leave us alone
And the time's never right when we're trading the soul
[Post-Chorus]
Burden of life
[Verse 3]
So all the fire, the fear, the wire
The wisdom -- why you want it now?
No answers are there
No answers of why
[Chorus]
'Cause the burden of life just won't leave us alone
And the time's never right when you're losing a soul
