Lyrics
I'll Just Take These
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 think that I
Will just take a memory
A small one that I know
Real well, then go
What I'll take is all
The happy thoughts I can recall
But I know there won't be much
That I can bear to touch
Chorus:
So I'll just take
What my mind can stand
'Cause there's not a lot
That you can hold
In trembling hands
Just these last few hopeful things
That we left lay
Then quickly leave before
Any more
Get in my way
Chorus
