Lyrics
For Emma
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.
So, apropos
Saw death on a sunny snow
For every life
Forgo the parable
Seek the light
My knees are cold
Running home, running home
Running home, running home
Go find another lover
To bring a
To string along
With all your lies
You're still very lovable
I toured the light
So many foreign roads
For Emma
Forever ago
