Moral Of The Story
Harm & Ease Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Moral of the story
is deeper than you'd know
I'll tell you if you trust me
I'm digging for treasure below

My woman tried to love me
I walked her on her way
But now I'm feeling lonely
and wishing that she would have stayed

Maybe I'm just singing tunes
I'm always thinking about Rock and Blues
And this one's for her
But I'm almost sure she's gone

All the luck in the world
couldn't convince these eyes of hurt
She's a load, my heavy weight

The reason for my madness
can never be explained.
With layers and trails
My body, it's frail
I'm hoping for you

When I talk to myself
and I'm going through hell
And I,
And I,
And I...

Couldn't walk all alone
Couldn't walk on my own
Couldn't walk all alone
Couldn't walk on my own

Maybe I'm just singing tunes
I'm always thinking about Rock and Blues
And this one's for her but I'm almost sure
She's gone,
She's gone,
She's gone...

All the luck in the world
couldn't convince these eyes of hurt
She's a load, my heavy weight,




my heavy weight.
my heavy weight, babe.
