Funeral For a Friend (Love Lies Bleeding)
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.
The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side
Everything about this house
Was born to grow and die
It doesn't seem a year ago
To this very day
You said I'm sorry honey
If I don't change the pace
I can't face another day
And love lies bleeding in my hand
It kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock-n-roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn't hold you
So I spilt the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands
I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through
You're bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy now
Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
You'll make it back somehow
