Heavy Lifting Lyrics
True enough, I hear them take you away
But you could be home in a day
And let the hammer fall
Alone because my friends have places to go
My people have people to know
They've never seemed so remote
I'm taking it easy if it comes to fate
But for the time I've gotta wait
Soothe your bones
With the papers of a man that you know
His kids are really gonna grow
And leave their daddy home
But it's an easy game
Those clouds bring heavy, heavy rain
And lifting is an awful lot of pain
We're gonna be sore for sure
I'm takin it easy if it comes to fate
But for the time I've gotta wait
I'm takin it easy if it comes to fate
But for the time I've gotta wait
But you could be home in a day
And let the hammer fall
Alone because my friends have places to go
My people have people to know
They've never seemed so remote
But for the time I've gotta wait
With the papers of a man that you know
His kids are really gonna grow
And leave their daddy home
But it's an easy game
Those clouds bring heavy, heavy rain
And lifting is an awful lot of pain
We're gonna be sore for sure
But for the time I've gotta wait
But for the time I've gotta wait

I agree with ThePython, I think he's just saying that you have to let things change and stuff happen and see what happens.
i love how the song kind of breaks in at "soothe your bones".... and the keyboards as he says "those clouds bring heavy heavy rain and lifting is an aweful lot of pain".. gorgeous

These lyrics are pretty cool, although even I couldn't really come up with a cohesive theme or meaning
well i just saw amb ltd. on conan :). . .and i put the captioning on. .i dont know if its correct. .but some things are different. .it said "true ENOUGH i hear THEY take you away". . ."ALONG because my friends have places to go, my people have people to know, they've never seem so REMOTE"
yeah that's definitley what he says in the song
Sounds like he's saying everything goes away eventually, and it's painful to see everyone go, but you just gotta take it easy and let the world turn.
this song is great. .i love the "i'm taking it easy if it comes to fate but for the time i gotta wait". .i think my fav part just might be the music at the end
Sounds like some sort of Taoist abandonment ideas to me. Stuff changed and it can be upsetting, but it will all come out alright in the end.
A friend made me listen to this band and now I can't stop listening. The break about 2 mins into the song reminds of Dear Prudence by the Beatles.
