Heavy On It Lyrics

Hello my wife, at last
There are so many things Ive to ask
We spoke before of Francis cross
A red masked maid is said to have bought

But Im not thinking about this again
Until that cross is round my neck

Its just so strange my heart is heavy on it

Hello suspicious one
I told you I tire of dreary sun
But now my eyes wont believe
The prettiest flower girl Ive seen

But Im not thinking about this again
Until her fingers drape my bed

Its just so strange

As colors grew in side of me
Azaleas to willow trees
I felt the love of siren seas
And for a moment I was alive

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

wow... i'm really surprised that there aren't any comments for this song yet... i heard this one through Pandora (which i recommend to all who love to find new music) and it gripped me for some reason. i was drawn by the guitar chords and piano melodies. as he talks about how "strange my heart is heavy on it" i figure he means that his heart wants something and he doesn't know why. confused what "this" refers to in the chorus. i'm almost wondering if he's had an affair with this maid he speaks of and felt alive when he was with her... since i'm new to IRF, i really don't know how to read their lyrics yet.

I love the beat to this song. I rock so hard on it... haha

he's saying his heart is heavy on wanting the cross.. but why? I think it's aout being compulsive and impulsive. he want anything of value he sees. and doesn't care what it takes to accomplish his goals.

and the last verse is his reflection on it all. how it's only for a moment he feels the completeness of himself with whatever he's been wanting.

beautiful words all over.....oh man. :)
