[00:00.00]elton john--weight of the world
[00:25.30]i'm weary and i'm staying up late
[00:28.62]and the rain hits my roof so hard
[00:32.65]you know i'm no longer thirty
[00:35.27]these days i'm happy to play
[00:38.31]one or two hands of cards
[00:43.81]i hate flies in the kitchen buzzing
[00:47.67]disturbing the peace i've found
[00:51.59]fortune and fame is so fleeting
[00:54.11]these days i'm happy to say
[00:56.69]i'm amazed that i'm still around
[00:59.84]
[01:02.26]and the weight of the world is off my back
[01:06.09]when we fell, we got up
[01:07.66]and crawled out the cracks
[01:10.01]excuse me if i take some comfort in that
[01:13.89]happy today, happy to play
[01:21.03]with the weight of the world off of my back
[01:27.01]
[01:28.68]humidity hangs like a curtain
[01:32.06]oh, it fogs up my glasses sometimes
[01:36.15]you know i've still got my eyesight
[01:38.64]these days i'm happy to see
[01:41.75]a sunset instead of a line
[01:44.56]
[01:47.11]and the weight of the world is off my back
[01:50.84]when we fell, we got up
[01:52.44]and crawled out the cracks
[01:54.88]excuse me if i take some comfort in that
[01:58.65]happy today, happy to play
[02:05.84]with the weight of the world off of my back
[02:11.39]
[02:13.31]there's a long list of names
[02:15.12]that i don't recall
[02:17.15]even though my memory's good
[02:20.95]the rain washed away
[02:22.83]the lemons and weeds
[02:24.47]when the weight of the world weighed more than it should
[02:31.72]
[02:51.78]i hate flies in the kitchen buzzing
