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.
On St. Swithun's Day it was a clear day
And then it rained for forty days and forty nights
I went my way, you went your way
But we'll meet together in the night
As real as two dreamers in the night
As your bridges burn
And as the seasons turn
As your bridges burn
St Swithun's lantern still shines bright
It was a clear day on St. Swithun's Day
Then it rained for forty days and forty nights
But when a brother wronged is just another song
You'll find you've gotta do the thing that's right
Yes you're finally gonna do the thing that's right
As your bridges burn
And the seasons turn
As your bridges burn
St Swithun's still shinin' bright
