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.
Might be the way she wore her hair
might be the roses 'round her everywhere
might just be autumn in the air
or the lady fair
we were everything
but the lady doesn't live here anymore
It was the colors that she wore
She's packed and gone
there's no color anymore
and written in the teardrops on the floor
"forevermore"
and the lady doesn't live here
the lady doesn't live here anymore
and I'm a drifter on the water
signalling to shore
'cause the lady doesn't live here
the lady doesn't live here anymore
How can she leave me alone
shatter my life this way
when will she ever come home
don't I matter to her anyway
and the lady does not live here
the lady does not live here anymore
She caught the first plane to the West
I gave her time
thought I'd give her a rest
I didn't know what was in store for me
what was it for for me
and the lady does not live here
the lady doesn't live here anymore
and I'm a drifter on the water
signalling to shore
and the lady doesn't live here anymore
The lady doesn't live here anymore
