On A Wire (Like Sparrows)
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.
Side-by-side on a wire like sparrows
The motorcade passes by as if we're all lost
Pave the roads on the backs of the beggars
Suffer the wounds of trials come and gone slow
Lay down when I turn off the lights,
Lay down when I turn off the lights, lay down.
Side-by-side on a wire like sparrows
You can trace our steps back
But where will they go
All of my plans on borrowed time
Borrowed time waiting on…on this old soul
Lay down when I turn off the lights,
Lay down when I turn off the lights, lay down.
Lay down.
