about

A song inspired by Daniel Johnston's relationship (or lack there-of) with his muse, Laurie Allen.

lyrics

The heavy burden that is my heart,
Doesn't get any lighter,
When you bring me higher.

I swear on my life I saw a spark.
You may call me a liar,
But there's no smoke without fire.

I don't know why,
But to hold your body I would bleed mine completely dry.
To me you're as real but just as distant as the moon sitting in the sky.
I want your love but most of all I just want you in my life.
I want you in my life.

Do you think of me as much as I think of you?
A waste of my time it may be,
But no time's wasted on you, baby.

Am I just desperate for something to be desperate for?
But I wallow on my bedroom floor
Knowing that I'll never be yours

And you'll never be mine.
If that isn't a lie then why does your truth keep on wasting my time?
To me you're as warm and just as bright as the sun
Bleeding light into my life.
Please don't go, please don't leave me behind,
Without your light I am blind.
Without your light I am blind.
