Golden Slumbers - Carry That Weight Lyrics

[Studio demo from 1988, with Charlie Dominici on vocals.]
- John Lennon and Paul McCartney
(The Beatles - from the album Abbey Road)
[Golden Slumbers]
Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
[Carry That Weight]
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitation
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Yeah, all right!
Are you gonna be in my dreams, tonight?
And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you lend
