Lyrics
The Romance
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.
Take my love, close the door and save the key.
I was stranded long before you came to me.
Helpless as a child, and frightened as a fawn,
And living for The Romance in my song.
I'm free like a river,
High like a mountain burnin' the sky.
With wings for an angel,
Tears for the woman's sad disguise.
Take my heart, I have waited endlessly.
How the spirit begged to fly when suddenly,
The magic in the stars came the judgment for my trial,
I'm captured by The Romance in your smile.
I'm free like a river,
High like a mountain burnin' the sky.
With wings for an angel,
And tears for the woman's sad disguise.
I'm free (free like a river),
High (high like a mountain) burnin' the sky.
With wings for an angel?
