Lyrics
Herring Bone
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.
Oh boy, when you're gone, you are gone
Those nights you wander all night
You won't get to relive them
Or even to explain them
To your next of kin
They come one,
After the other, after the other
Just like herring bone
Oh, oh, oh oh
Way out there where the tide meets the tide
Those nights you'd get so quiet
You won't get to enjoy them
Or even to explain them
To your next of kin
They come one,
After the other, after the other
Just like herring bone
Oh, oh, oh oh
And I know you like herring bone
Yeah, I know you like herring bone
Through the cold you've held on with
The one you went to went to war with
The only word you can't explain
