Talking of the End
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.
talking of the end
talking of the end
let me hear you say you disagree
talking of the end
talking of the end
let me hear you say it will not be
this is no time for easy riding
this is no time to cry
better start to play your part
start to live before you start to die
dream the world all alive
busily conspiring humming like a hive
dream the world all alive
I dream it as me
rise as fair and tender leaves
brightening in countless eyes
and the sweet song of whales beneath the sea
if I could sing only one song I'd sing of you
