When The Bough Breaks
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.
Are you doing alright
Do you feel very well
Are there things in your life you've always wanted
Like respect, prestige and so on
Can you tell
Working so hard
For the things that you want
But lose anyway
Isn't it sad that the things that we have
We lose anyway
Any day now
It's gonna come
Any day now
Hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
When the bough breaks
When the bough breaks
You really know it
Yeah you really know it
You really know it
Yeah you really know, know, know, know, know, know, know
When the bough breaks
When the bough breaks
You really know it
You really know it know it know it
You really know when you're there
'Cause you're there
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Have you ever counted just
How many times you've traveled to tomorrow
Seeing this, discounting that
And thinking how great it will be once in tomorrow
Can you reach out with your waiting arms
And meet a man who loves broken hearts
Hello
What about dreams
Have you had many dreams
Do they float away
Shivering slightly to know how it is
Is there loss hey hey
Any day now
It's gonna come
Any day now
Hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
When the bough breaks
When the bough breaks
You really know it
You really know it know it
You really know it
Know know know know know know know
When the bough breaks
When the bough breaks
You really know it
You really know it know it know it
You really know when you're there
'Cause you're there
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Have you ever counted just
How many times we travel to tomorrow
Seeing this, discounting that
And thinking how great it will be once in tomorrow
Can you reach out with your waiting arms
And meet a man who loves broken hearts
Hello
Can you reach out with your waiting arms
And meet a man who loves broken hearts
Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello, baby
Hello
Hello, darling
