A Strange 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.
It's a strange song
´Bout a boy who went wrong
Who tried to make it up
Inside his heart and start again
To make a manse for livin´ his strange life
He's never made a change life
Until one day he found himself alone
With only him
And oh how dim his future seemed
On that day
He searched to find a better way
To be a man
And as he tried he cast away his foolish pride
And I understand his strange song
Then he came a sing along
And every note was just a proper one
To hum and sing and have a thing
That's groovy with la di da la ....
