Weightless Lyrics

[Verse]
Hey
You look like me
So we
Look like him

[Chorus]
When the time came
Just like you are
He was weightless
In my arms
(Captain)
(Oh my captain)
(Only love)

[Verse]
Hey
You look like me
So we
Look like him

[Chorus]
When the time came
Just like you are
He was weightless
In my arms
He was weightless
In my arms

Cover art for Weightless lyrics by Elbow

Guy's said that the album, alongside Brexit, climate change, all the bigger issues, is about the loss of his Dad and the birth of his son.

This song, in particular, seems to be about both. It's Guy singing to his son, about his Dad.

Really, really beautiful.

@Spaldinho I totally agree. This is achingly beautiful. When the time came, he was weightless - just like you are.
