Don't Carry It All

[Verse] G Em D Here we come to a turning of the season G Em D Witness to the arc towards the sun G Em D A neighbor's blessed burden, within reason G Becomes a burden borne of all in one Em D C And nobody, nobody knows

[Chorus] C G Let the yoke fall from our shoulders C Em Don't carry it all, don't carry it all C G We are all our hands and holders Bm C Beneath this bold and brilliant sun G Em D This I swear to all

[Verse] G Em D A monument to build beneath the arbors G Em D Upon a cliff that towers towards the trees G Em D Let every vessel pitching hard to starboard G Lay its head on summer's freckled knees Em D C And nobody, nobody knows

[Chorus] C G Let the yoke fall from our shoulders C Em Don't carry it all, don't carry it all C G We are all our hands and holders Bm C Beneath this bold and brilliant sun G Em D This I swear to all G Em D

[Bridge] Bm C Bear a wreath of trillium and ivy Bm Em Lay it upon the body of a boy Bm C Lazy will the love come from its hiding Am D To return this quiet searcher to the soil

[Verse] G Em D So raise a glass to turnings of the season G Em D And watch it as it arcs towards the sun G Em D And you must bear your neighbors' burden within reason G And your labors will be borne when all is done Em D C And nobody, nobody knows

[Chorus] C G Let the yoke fall from our shoulders C Em Don't carry it all, don't carry it all C G We are all our hands and holders Bm C Beneath this bold and brilliant sun G Em D This I swear to all G Em D This I swear to all G Em D This I swear to all G Em D This I swear to all G
