Lyrics
The Cowboy Song
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.
Tears fall, they scarred your innocent dreams
Loves fall, they kinda leave you empty
Leaves fall, the seasons pass you by
And you think that maybe you can fly
Ceilings fall, with each romance you incur
Clouds fall, with each moment of despair
Buildings fall, the pavement is their bed
But what's the last thing that goes through your head?
You take the elevator to the top
The next thing you know
There you are standing on the edge
And all the flashing lights and futile cries
They're left with you now
Just close your eyes and take that final step
Rains fall, they dampen your will to live
Gods fall, with each pleasure that you give
You fall, and take the whole world with you
But will you even bother to look down?
You take the elevator to the top
The next thing you know
There you are standing on the edge
The circumstance it turns you inside out
So we can have peace
Before you find out what's inside your head
What's inside your head!
You take the elevator to the top
The next thing you know
There you are standing on the edge
The circumstance it turns you inside out
So we can have peace
Before you find out what's inside your head
And all the flashing lights and futile cries
They're left with you now
Just close your eyes and take that final step
Just close your eyes and take that final step
