impossible boyfriend

i fell in love with you at the top of a playground
once a boy now a man with a furrowed brow and shaky hands
pull the splinters from your finger take the rocks from your shoes let's go play
don't worry baby fair weather will come our way again

it aint so heavy baby let it go
don't worry if the wind picks up don't worry if the cows don't wanna come home
it aint so heavy baby let it go
don't worry pretty baby we'll wait for fair weather to come

I fell in love with you at the bottom of a mountain
once a boy now a man with a clever tongue and twisted grin
pull yourself out of bed take the lock off the door let's go play
don't worry baby fair weather will come our way again

it aint so heavy baby let it go
don't worry if the wind picks up don't worry if the cows don't wanna come home
it aint so heavy baby let it go
don't worry pretty baby we'll wait for fair weather to come

can you hear my heart fluttering around in its cage
will you take it under careful supervision so it doesn't fly away
and when it's time to go will you bury it next to the tulips and canaries
so it can come back next spring singing

it aint so heavy baby let it go
don't worry if the wind picks up don't worry if the cows don't wanna come home
it aint so heavy baby let it go
don't worry pretty baby we'll wait for fair weather to come
