Puppies
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.
Even the birds when they sing
It's not everything to them
Fiddle-head ferns and daffodils
Made me want to play
To the puppies having their little breakfast
So I picked up six fine strings
And I began to play
What I thought that new
Born fur would like best
Hey, hey, such a new born morn
Hey, hey, the puppies they have gone
Left me here holding this song
Music is so much less than what you are
Just how far can you take me
How far can you take me, Mother Nina
Before I'm on my own
Don't imagine that the pretty flower can sing a song
When the sun makes it's sap to rise
One by one the chorus swells till it's a mighty noise
Are you sure that it's not a silence?
Even the birds when they sing
It's not everything to them
Even the birds when they sing
Spread their wings to heaven and fly away.
