If There Were Time
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.
if there were time
oh i would buy you a ribbon of rain
and a silver tongued nightingale
to sing out your name
if there were time
oh i would fly you across the room
then i'd carry you back again
through the afternoon
if there were time
wouldn't we have a time
and wouldn't we set the stars to dancing
with our heartbeats keeping time
if there were time
oh i would wake you when the snowfall comes
then we'd watch those flakes dissolve again
beneath the winter sun
but time is a messenger
that comes and goes so fast
and while thinking up the good times
all our good times have passed
