Lyrics
Oh Well, Okay
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.
Here's the silhouette, the face, always turned away
The bleeding color gone to black, dying like a day
Couldn't figure out what made you so unhappy
Shook your head to say: No, no, no
And stopped for a spell, and stayed that way
Oh well, okay
I got pictures, I just don't see it anymore
Climbing hour upon hour through a total bore
With the one I keep, where it never fades
In the safety of a pitch-black mind
An airless cell that blocks the day
Oh well, okay
If you get a feeling next time you see me
Do me a favor and let me know
'Cause it's hard to tell, it's hard to say: Oh well, okay
Oh well, okay
Oh well, okay
Oh well, okay
