Sweet Adeline
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.
Cut this picture into you and me
Burn it backwards, kill this history
Make it over, make it stay away
Or hate'll sing the ending that love started to say
There's a kid a floor below me saying
"Brother, can you spare sunshine for a brother, Old Man Winter's in the air"
Walked me up a story, asking how you are
Told me not to worry, you were just a shooting star
Sweet Adeline
Sweet Adeline
My Clementine
Sweet Adeline
It's a picture-perfect evening and I'm staring down the Sun
Fully loaded, deaf and dumb and done
Waiting for sedation to disconnect my head
Or any situation where I'm better off than dead
