Rules
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.
Everyone has their own myths
If not their father's troubles
It's the mother's kiss
But me would you save my life
Or take it away from me - stab me with a knife
Hey you could find it in yourself, I know
To fly across the cobalt sky
And leave me down below, I know
To bend my neck and wave goodbye
You pictured in black and white - clouds stay 'til night
Don't make the day look right
You in a beatnick black beret - out on a sunny day
Make the crows fly away
Hey you could find it in yourself, I know
To fly across the cobalt sky
And leave me down below, I know
To bend my neck and wave goodbye
Hey you could find it in yourself, I know
To fly across the cobalt sky
And leave me down below, I know
To bend my neck and wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
