When You're Gone
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.
Like a shadow on my wall
you can make my neckskin crawl
and you don't have to say or do a thing at all
to catch me when I fall
Like the bloom of dandelions
you send shivers down my spine
and I will never lose my faith when you're mine
to me you are devine
When you're gone
there's a song to support me
when you're here
you're the song I hear
you bring music everywhere
Like an angel from above
you're an undivided love
and when I close my eyes it's you I'm thinking of
peace you bring, little dove
When you're gone
there's a song to support me
when you're here
you're the song I hear
you bring music everywhere
And the stars form constellations in your eyes
maybe that's why it's so hard to say goodbye
and your precence makes me more than flesh and bone
but when you slip away my inside turns to stone
when you're here
you're a song my dear
you bring music everywhere
