he's a little boy and a burly man

shooting fingers on his hand

there's an angry fire in his eyes

but a quiver in his side



if you understood the gravity

as it pushes weight on top of me



as he loses hair and gets around

and his friends all let him down

when the long long nights start to drag

he feels his being start to sag



if you understood the gravity

as it pulls it all right out of me



if you've ever seen the nights i have cried

then you'd understand the reasons why

if you understood the gravity

as it pushes right down on top of me



and you will see the gravity

and you will see the man in me

and you will see just what I see
