Mystified, Heavy Lyrics


Ooh, it's got me mystified, heavy now
Deep down to my soul
You try to keep the wheel steady now
Easy as she goesI can hear on the wind
A tale that needs to be told again
The horizon bends at either end
And the sea can't tell a foe from a friendI know it was only a dream
As delicate as a dragonfly wingI was never satisfied with any life
Till she called my name
The air on the high ground was rarefied
Every day the sameAnd old fears were always near
But when we set sail they disappeared
There are those who fear the deep
But the world don't wait when your faith won't leapAnd I know it was only a dream
As delicate as a dragonfly wingThen we watched as the southern cross
Led the sailors home, constellation borne
We set sail in a heavy gale
And to the sea many of us thrownAnd there were times when my courage failed

But I never bowed to the storm
Whatever path you choose to walk
In the end you walk aloneOoh, it's got me mystified, heavy now
Tongue-tied to the anchor chain
You try to keep your hand steady now
But it slips againAnd landfall surprised us all
And she broke on the rocks like a china doll
You can hear the siren call
For the last dance at Poseidon's ballAnd I know it was only a dream
As delicate a dragonfly wing
I hope it was only a dream
As delicate as a dragonfly wing

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Sam Roberts is a Canadian rock singer-songwriter, based in Montreal, Quebec. His 2001 debut release, The Inhuman Condition became one of the bestselling independent releases in Quebec and Canadian music history.

Born in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, he attended Loyola High School and McGill University. Roberts formed the band William in 1993. The band's name was changed to Northstar in 1996. Although the band gained some notice in independent rock circles, they couldn't break through to a national audience, and broke up in the late 1990s. Roberts' bandmate George Donoso went on to significant success in indie rock circles with The Dears, but Roberts struggled for several years afterward.

In 2000 Roberts began his solo career by independently releasing his first studio album, Brother Down. The album was largely unsuccessful but the title track would later go on to be re-recorded and re-released on a six-song EP titled The Inhuman Condition. The EP sold slowly at first, but by the summer of 2002 Roberts was all over the Canadian airwaves: his first single "Brother Down" had become one of the biggest Canadian hits of the year, and the follow up single "Don't Walk Away Eileen" quickly followed suit.

Roberts then signed to Universal Music, releasing his full-length debut, We Were Born In A Flame, in 2003. That album's singles, "Where Have All the Good People Gone?", "Hard Road", "Brother Down" and "Don't Walk Away Eileen", became major hits, especially in Canada.

The band's album Chemical City, produced with Joseph Donovan and released on April 11, 2006, got major radio play in Canada after its release, especially the single "The Gate".

The band's latest release, the album Love at the End of the World (May 20, 2008), included the song "Them Kids", which reached #1 on the Canadian indie chart (the R3-30), and also #1 on CFNY's Thursday 30 chart.
