Lyrics
Babylon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is the first time in a
long long while
That I'm standing in front of you my child
I guess all my guessing has got me nowhere
All my dreams have left me here
Babylon Babylon
Where can you be
Are you holding my golden
Six string
Well I worked until I bled
Then I let my love pass over my head
Down this long and lifted land
To the railroad graveyard guitar land
Babylon Babylon
Where can you be
Are you holding my golden six string melody
Babylon Babylon
Where can you be
Are you holding my golden six string melody
Eyes wide open looking up
But could not see oh not nearly enough
Sit around sit around and cry
