Like A New Child
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.
Good night, sinner,
All right with me,
If it's the wrong way
Let me get close to you now,
Ohwaoh.
Don't pay, no, what did you to me,
Oh yes, your silent partner in your mystery?
Oh, midnight man, oh,
Don't let me get you on the wrong track.
It's hardly, hardly , hardly, hardly,
Hardly, hardly, hardly, hardly,
Hardly, hardly, hardly bad.
It's the sound, former ground
Coming down, coming down with ice,
Beaten round, beaten round,
Beaten round like the sound,
Coming on the night.
Oh, midnight sin,
Oh, midnight sinner,
Don't make no mistake, oh,
Don't beat it now, yeah.
Why don't you go and get it now, yeah, yeah?
Oh, may sign, oh, may sign like a new child,
Hardly sign like a new child.
Yes, it's OK.
