Lyrics
Desert song
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.
Favoured one, fade on, see them run
Journey 'round, heave ho all night long
You've been afraid for far too long
I've been enraged in my song
I've been a rose in my rage
I've been a rose
I've been a rose
I've been a rose
Canaan ran, since her desert song
Canaan ran, rides on the bird song
You've been afraid for far too long
I've been enraged in my songs
I've been a rose
I've been a rage
I've been a rose
I've been a rage
I've been a rose
