Featherweight

Lyrics for Featherweight

All this time I've been hanging on To an edge I caught when we both were young That the world I won wasn't near enough All was distant, always off In all that war, I'd forgotten how Many men might die for what I'd renounce I was staging life as a battleground No, I let that grasping fall May the last long year be forgiven All that war left within it I couldn't, though I'm beginning to And we've only made it together Feel some change in the weather I couldn't, though I'm beginning to And though it's all so uncertain, cold All the rafters cracked, all the copper sold There's a ration back in a manifold If you need it or forgot May the last long year be forgiven All that war left within it I couldn't, though I'm beginning to And we've only made it together Feel some change in the weather I couldn't, though I'm beginning to And somehow I see It's free And with love and hate in the balance One last way past the malice One warm day's all I really need And with love and hate in the balance One last way past the malice One warm day is all I really need
