Trimmed and Burning
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.
Took it all and take it over
Taking as much as you can see
I can almost think about it
But I cant arrange for you to see, yeah
Didnt know what I'm afraid of
I had to learn it from a dream
There's a light that never goes out
Burning a hole inside of me, yeah
Keep your lamps all trimmed and burning
Might be alarmed with what you see
I agreed to always love you but never enough to set you free
