(Jesse Winchester)

It's a cold cold world

That we're walkin' through
Lay down the burden of your heart
But it's warm as toast

Walkin' two by two
Lay down the burden of your heart


[Chorus:]
Lay down the burden of your heart
I know you'll never miss it

Show your Daddy where it hurts,
And let your Daddy lift it


It's a fine fine line
Between love and hate
Why, it's tough to tell the two apart

But you know it's love
That He offers you
Lay down the burden of your heart


[Chorus]
