Flowers For Charlie
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.
Flowers for charlie, you know
I'm not a good G.I. Joe
Because I always hang low
And I won't find you
I'll probably be ignored
Being caught in the cold
Taking off then a stop
It's a cop-out
I don't want to win your defense anymore
There's a world within
But I can't call out
Kiss me quickly
I'm in a hurry
And I've got worry enough
Just to stay around
Got you a flower from on the other side
This is meaningless
You don't have to hide
