Climbing To The Moon
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.
So I wrote it all in a letter
But I don't know if it came
The nurse she likes my writing
So she keeps it just like me
So that it won't go away
I won't be denied this time
'Fore I go out of my mind over matters
Got my foot on the ladder
And I'm climbing up to the moon
Got a sky that looks like heaven
Got an earth that looks like shit
And it's getting hard to tell where
What I am ends
And what they're making me begins
I won't be denied this time
'Fore I go out of my mind over matters
Got my foot on the ladder
And I'm climbing up to the moon
Saturday in the yard
They'll bring you by
We'll lay down on the grass
And watch as the sky closes in
I won't be denied this time
'Fore I go out of my mind over matters
Got my foot on the ladder
And I'm climbing up to the moon
