Cool Wooden Crosses
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.
From bitter to empty
Go the bridges through town
From valley to valley
Before she burns them down
Before she burns them down
Well they gather by the river
Many miles above the ground
In a tower of mirrors
Before she burns them down
Before she burns them down
Before she burns them down
Hear the peals of opinions
Weigh your words to waste no sound
Cool wooden crosses on the mountain
Before she burns them down
Before she burns them down
Before she burns them down
Before she burns them down
