== Lyrics == <poem style="border: 1px solid #8eb6d4; background-color: #0b0b14; padding-left: 1em; padding-right: 3em; border-radius: 10px; width: fit-content"> Well, I bumped inside the magic man And he laid some tricks on me He said, "You do need help, my friend" I whispered, "Obviously" He laid a spread of Jacks and Queens And he bade me take my pick But, every face, it had your face I cried out, "I am sick" Sick of hauling your love around Want to run the train alone But the engine tracks straight through your heart And weighs me like a stone Oh, it's a hard load to love you It takes up all my time Having you so familiar Like last life's nursery rhyme So I gave away the pictures And your golden ring And the phone calls you sent me And the silver birds that sing Then the man, he told me something That really brought me down Your things were thrown away, it's true But you were still in town Sick of hauling your love around Want to run the train alone But the engine tracks straight through your heart And weighs me like a stone Oh, it's a hard load to love you It takes up all my time Having you so familiar Like last life's nursery rhyme The magician left a message It flashes when I hide Accept the chains of loving Accept, or else remove yourself from her side And do without her love And I lay back with a steel chain I keep it by my side I could mail a letter to you, but I still Have my pride Sick of hauling your love around Want to run the train alone But the engine tracks straight through your heart And weighs me like a stone Three times, I've sent you back from me Three times, my bones gone dry And three times, I've seen the shooting shark Lighting up the sky Oh, it's a hard load to love you, babe It takes my breath away The fourth time around is the last time around There's nothing else to say</poem>
