Lyrics
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Ooh-whoa
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Oh-whoa
You're not heavy
I rock you to sleep, I hold you for hours long
Never heavy, I won't let you weep
Hush, my child, you're mine
All my life, I've tried
Oh-oh, you were never heavy, light just like a feather
I ran from the terror, the ground was red from the left
You were never scary, I knew you were special
My only attention, alone, I left to the west
Then moved to the city, eight months we were pregnant
You came out so precious, in the snow you would grow
Your mama loves you, you'll never be alone
Hush, my child, you're mine (I know, I know, I know, hey)
All my life, I've tried (I'm sorry mama, I'm sorry mama, whoa-whoa)
To keep you warm, if I go (if I go, I feel so cold without you mama, I feel so cold without you)
You're still my child (whoa-whoa), don't cry
Death is nothing at all, it does not count
I have only slipped away into the next room
Nothing has happened
Everything remains exactly how it was
I am I, and you are you
And the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still
Call me by the old familiar name
Writer(s): Henry Russell Walter, Abel Tesfaye, Daniel Lopatin
