Dirty Old Town
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.
Dirty old town, dirty old town
They've got all your little problems clearly written down
But you don't even know, cannot even see
The butterfly that you're going to be
All the butterfly that you are becoming
All the road, all the miles
Hair goes grey, eyes stay wide
Come to bed, turn off the lights
Fall asleep inside
But you're the one
You're the one, you're the one
Hearts grow into hearts until hearts become one
But you're the one, you're the one, you're the one
I carry you heart in my heart sung with every song
But you're the one
You're the one
Poised with grace in this poisoned place
And how you ever manage to keep it off your face
You don't even know, cannot even see
The butterfly that you're going to be
All the butterfly you are becoming
Dirty old town, dirty old town
They've got all your little problems clearly written down
But you don't even know, cannot even see
That the butterfly that you're going to be
All the butterfly that you are becoming
But you're the one. You're the one.you're the one
Hearts grow into hearts until hearts become one
But you're the one, you're the one, you're the one
I carry your heart in my heart, hearts become one
But you're the one. You're the one.you're the one
Hearts grow into hearts until hearts become one
But you're the one, you're the one, you're the one
I carry your heart in my heart, sung with every song
Fall asleep inside
