Dimmer
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.
Am I dimmer every day?
Am I just a little glimmer
like a tiny bobbing head
of an ocean swimmer?
Olly olly oxen free
Can you see me?
Do I slowly get erased
as I slowly eat my dinner?
Though my stomach might agree
I'm hardly getting thinner
Olly olly oxen free
Can you see me?
I would choose the darkest horse
That's the horse I'd ride
The stables would be shadowy
and we'd start the race behind
They'd take their feet
and toss their hats
and yell out in surprise
You wouldn't need binoculars
You'd see it with your own two eyes
[ Bishop Allen Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Am I dimmer every day?
Am I shrinking, am I shrinking?
Can you recognize my thoughts?
Do you care what I am thinking?
Olly olly oxen free
Can you see me?
You see me now
but it takes a lot of squinting
and there isn't any shade
and the sun is unrelenting
Olly olly oxen free
Can you see me?
I would choose the darkest horse
That's the horse I'd ride
The stables would be shadowy
and we'd start the race behind
They'd take their feet
and toss their hats
and yell out in surprise
You wouldn't need binoculars
You'd see it with your own two eyes
