Heavy is the heart that wanders Plagued to forever ponder Where will he be when the world sees What his fears already conjured Fate is a cruel mistress But there's no need for distress The rain and gloom, there's a flower bloom Just be patient as the sun sets So oh, my sweet dear, please don't go This rambling man wants to settle down It's time to come home Could you keep me on my feet, 'cause I can hardly stand Yeah, the weight's too much to bear for one heavy-hearted man She's honest, she is kind A queen with a jester by her side She knows that life comes in stride She is patience over pride Her light heart holds the burden With grace and self-assurance Her lighter soul hauls a heavy load And it weighs on my conscience So oh, my sweet dear, please don't go This rambling man wants to settle down It's time to come home Could you keep me on my feet, 'cause I can hardly stand Yeah, the weight's too much to bear for one heavy-hearted man Heavy is the heart than wanders Never knowing how he got there He's the king of clowns with a paper crown On a road that leads to nowhere So oh, my sweet dear, please don't go This rambling man wants to settle down It's time to come home Could you keep me on my feet, 'cause I can hardly stand Yeah, the weight is too much to bear for one heavy-hearted man
