Lyrics
The Man In Black's Blues
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.
When you’re looking for nothing
And you find nothing
And nothing
Turns out as planned
When you’re looking for something In the palm of your hand
It disappears
Before your very eyes
When you’re looking for nothing
And you find
Nothing is more beautiful
Than anything you ever knew
When you’re looking for something
That you know is through
It’s like it flies away
Before your very eyes
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for?

Did you say who you come for? (It’s like)
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for? (It flies)
Knock knock (away)
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for? (Before)
Knock knock (your very eyes)
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for?
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for? (It's like)
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for? (It flies)
Knock knock (away)
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for? (Before)
Knock knock (your very eyes)
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for?
Knock knock
