Sweet Scorched Earth
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 love the way your hair falls on your eyes
And the way the sun hits them as it dies
There's poison in the water and the sky
We'll hold onto each other if we fry
It's you and me forever, together
For all that it's worth
As long as we last on this sweet, scorched Earth
I love that you're my best friend and my wife
And I love our little family and our life
There's poison in the hearts of cheerless men
I only want to see it come to an end
It's you and me forever, together
For all that it's worth
As long as we last on this sweet, scorched Earth
