On Longing
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.
This is all my fault
I have many things done wrong
I've been longing for a dove
Or an olive in a cup
I'm so sorry
Sorry love
I want us to make up
I blush, I blush
Don't envy me none
I've been longing for a gun
Or an awning to hang from
I'm so sorry, sorry love
That some dawns
I want to be gone
But then the sun goes up and up
And I am lying in it some
I've been longing for someone
They will come in and I'll sit up
They'll say "Sorry, sorry love,
Whatever took me so long?"
