Live On My Mind
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.
See you standing in the door against the dark
Fireflies around you like a crown of sparks
You blow me a kiss that blurs my vision
Blurs the human condition
You're the ocean ringing in my brain
You are my island ripe with cane
Catch the scent of strange flowers when you pass
Fluid motion like the wind in grass
It's your eyes I want to see
Looking into mine
Got you live on my mind
All the time
Light me like incense in the night
Light me like a candle burning bright
Light me like a searchlight in the sky
Time means nothing when I look in your eyes
It's your eyes I want to see
Looking into mine
Got you live on my mind
All the time
