Lonesome Serenade
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.
World you are a mill
Do you grind away until
Every grain of life is tilled
Girl you're like a running stream
And every line I've tossed you've washed it clean
Upon the shore you're headed for the sea
There's a peace that I've always found
In a lonesome serenade
Such a piece of mind overwhelms
As my every desire's replayed
Oh oh oh in a lonesome serenade
Rowed on paddle boats
In a past of mine I've never known
On a lake of polished stone
Take us far away
To an island where she can't be swayed
By another man's embrace
There's a peace that I've always found
In a lonesome serenade
Such a piece of mind overwhelms
As my every desire's replayed
Oh oh oh in a lonesome serenade
Warmed when you become
Reckon all that growings pains your soul
Still you smile what's done is done
There's a peace that I've always found
In a lonesome serenade
Such a piece of mind overwhelms
As my every desire's replayed
Oh oh oh like a lonesome serenade
