Yes I Was
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.
Was I there when you were lying staring cold against my face
Did I run to hear your crying hoping you would come again
Was I there when you were lonely
Was I there, or did I care?
Was I missing when you needed brothers arms
Or was I there?
Yes I was
And if night fall held your head
A tangled mess of shocking pain
Did I run there to your guidance
Hoping you would come again
You were thinking I could hear
Your heaby breathing had me scared
Did I run or did I think or did I know or was I there?
Yes I was
And if night fall takes your head
A tangled mess of shocking pain
Did I run or did I think or did I know or was I there?
You were thinking I could hear
Your heavy breathing had me scared
Did I run or did I think or did I know or was I there?
Yes I was
