Lyrics
Better Days
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.
Standing at the window her face to the glass
As far as she can see the time has come to pass
As far as she can see oh the sky is all ablaze
And this looks like the first of better days
She's taking charge of her life for a change
She's takin' it back that she's lost
It's just as clear as the window pane she'll survive at all cost
[ guitar - fiddle ]
Now see the wings unfolding that weren't there just before
On a ray of sunshine she dances out the door
Out into the morning light where the sky is all ablaze
This looks like the first of better days
She's taking charge...
It's just as clear as the window pane she'll survive at all cost
