Isobel
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.
I thought it was funny
When you missed the train
When I rang you at home,
They said you'd left yesterday
I thought it was strange
When your car was found
By the tree in ennis
Where we used to hang around
Dear isobel,
I hope you're well
And that what you've done is right
Oh it's been such hell,
I wish you well,
I hope you're safe tonight
It's been a long day coming
And long will it last
When it's last day leaving,
And I'm helping it pass
By loving you more
And who would he become,
All the things he'd have done
Would he have loved you
And not let you down?
And would he be stronger
Than his father?
Don't punish yourself;
Leave it well alone
Dear isobel,
I hope you're well
And what you've done is right
Oh it's been such hell,
I wish you well,
I hope you're safe tonight
It's been a long day coming
And long will it last
When it's last day leaving,
And I'm helping it pass
By loving you more
It's been a long day coming
And long will it last
When it's last day leaving,
And I'm helping it pass
By loving you more
