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.
Time shakes, found you at the water
At first you were my father, now I love you like a brother
Earthquakes shake the dust behind you
This world at times will blind you
Still I know I’ll see you there
Come a little closer then you’ll see
Come on, come on, come on
Things aren’t always what they seem to be
Come on, come on, come on
Do you understand the things that you’ve been seeing?
Come on, come on, come on
Do you understand the things that you’ve been dreaming?
Come a little closer then you see
Heartbreaks, the heavy world’s upon your shoulder
Will we burn on or just smolder?
Somehow I know I’ll find you there
Ooh, you wanna see if you can change it, change it
Still I know, I’ll see you there
Come a little closer then you see
Come on, come on, come on
Things aren’t always what they seem to be
Come on, come on, come on
Do you understand the things that you’ve been seeing?
Come on, come on, come on
Do you understand the things that you’ve been dreaming?
Come a little closer then you’ll see
Come a little closer than you’ll see
Ten thousand people stand alone now
And in the evening the Sun sank
Tomorrow it will rise
Time flies by, they all sing along
Time flies by, they all sing along
Time flies by, they all sing along
Time flies by, by
Come a little closer then you’ll se
Come on, come on, come on
Come a little closer then you’ll see
Come a little closer then you’ll see
Come a little closer then you’ll see
Come a little closer then you’ll see
