I am an immigrants son Restless and foreign to my bones And from the day my youth was done I've longed for a place to call my home And I wanted to believe that I wouldn't be better off alone But home ain't what you leave It's all you carry with you when you go It's all you carry with you when you go Can you make this heavy heart of mine Light as a feather Let it float down the river till it all runs dry And I don't need to know where I'm headed I just hope when I get there You'll lay down at my side I am a lonely sculptor's son I carry her burden in my name And the work is never done For either the chisel or the clay I said you're either the chisel or the clay Can you make this heavy heart of mine Light as a feather Let it float down the river till it all runs dry And I don't need to know where I'm headed I just hope when I get there You'll lay down at my side We can float down the river till it all runs dry We can float down the river till it all runs dry Can you make this heavy heart of mine Light as a feather Let it float down the river till it all runs dry And I don't need to know where I'm headed I just hope when I get there You'll can lay down at my side We can float down the river till it all runs dry We can float down the river till it all runs dry
