He Said
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.
I never said those words
I'm going up that mountain now
Let earth go away, let cold wind blow
Because I cannot save them now
And this is my regret
That's coming down all over me
It drinks to drown in words in seas
But it only makes them rule again
[1st version chorus]: Go away, go away, go away I said
Go away, go away, go away I'm trying to sleep
Go away, go away, go away I said
[2nd version chorus]: I wish your mountains
I wish your mountains were gone
I wish you'd go, I wish you'd go
I used to think that there were other worlds
But I'm the only one that he said
So they are only in my head again...only
I have these words that are so hard
that I am working all the day
In everything I come to say
I build a shadow of him
He is afraid again
He says he is afraid again
It's coming down in tears of rain
And it will make them rule again
I spend my life in the worries he said
?
[1st version chorus]
[2nd version chorus]
