White Lights
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.
I am my dear so painfully clear of it all
What you always fear
Leave you barren land of toil
I gave myself away, so easily you would say
I was a kid
But I’ll always be a child through the harshness and the wildness
I will always be face to the wind
White light don’t break her heart anymore
Bright light don’t seem to bother her at all
White light don’t break her heart anymore
Bright light don’t seem to bother her at all
All is well, all is good
The crows have eaten what you blackbird never could like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
I am my dear so painfully clear of it all
What you always fear
Leave you barren land of toil
Oh, I made my own damn choices
Took a bite in all its poison
And ask for ball and chain
Now I came to be a man
Not without my father’s hand
But without your fears and their pain
White light don’t break her heart anymore
Bright light don’t seem to bother her at all
White light don’t break her heart anymore
Bright light don’t seem to bother her at all
But all is well, all is good
The crows have eaten what you blackbird never could like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
Like you said they would
White light don’t break her heart anymore
Bright light don’t seem to bother her at all
White light don’t break her heart anymore
Bright light don’t seem to bother her at all
