Lyrics
Let My Burden Go © 2011 Chris MacLean (SOCAN)
On a dark winged bird, the middle of the night
I flew to the hills of paradise Let my burden go
The wind turned cold the night I came
Cobbled streets soaked with rain, Let my burden go
CHORUS
I am weary, Francesca
Though I have not been awake
Won’t you help me find the grace
to let this burden go.
Down in the hollow by candlelight
Pilgrims come, pay their tithe, Let my burden go
Bells ring through the city streets
[I] kneel in the shade of an olive tree, Let my burden go
CHORUS
BRIDGE
On a sunny, salamander day
High up in the hills where the wild horses graze
On a sea of grass and sky so wide
I felt my flock of sorrows, rise and fly
On a day without words,
Fly, just a little flock of birds
Fly, fly, fly
On a dark winged bird, the middle of the night
I fly to the hills of paradise
Let my burden go, Let my burden go, Let my burden go.
