[Verse] Weight of the gold on your fingers it shines But it drags down your heart like a stone in the tides Wings may be fragile but they carry the skies I’d trade all your riches for love that won’t lie [Chorus] Weight and wind weight and wind One pulls you under one lets you begin Weight and wind weight and wind Tell me which one lifts you when everything spins [Verse 2] I left a home for a poet with dreams He wrote me sweet words till they tore at the seams Sold me for silver while I slept in his arms Now I wear jewels but they feel like alarms [Prechorus] Hearts are a gamble but the house always wins I lost mine to the weight of his sins [Chorus] Weight and wind weight and wind One pulls you under one lets you begin Weight and wind weight and wind Tell me which one lifts you when everything spins [Bridge] The fairy spoke softly her wings catching light Love is the weight that still makes us take flight The courtesan laughed her voice sharp as a knife Love is a wind that cuts straight through your life
