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.
Did ya think I wouldn't notice
The dead rose you left there on our bed
It's just the way I think your mind works
Cause I'm not that good with things unsaid
You always could express your feelings
In little ways like that, my dear
But then I'd have to play detective
To substantiate my every fear
The days fly by from March to April
Oooh I watch our love just waste away
But what a time you picked to leave me on
RACHMANINOFF'S BIRTHDAY
You said he's dead and so are we now
The taxi came you smiled and left
Now my head's mixed up & my heart is missing
To you it's just another petty theft
The house is still there's no more music
The piano's screamin' out your name
I hold my ears til I cant hear it
I close my eyes and pray for rain
The seasons change from Fall to Winter
Soon the sun will melt that snow away
But it was cold that night you left me on
RACHMANINOFF'S BIRTHDAY
No I just cant believe you left me
On RACHMANINOFF'S BIRTHDAY
