Sleeping Diagonally
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.
Somehow when you laid here by my side
Somethin' whispered words like rain is falling
Heavy, and she hated, loved to fight
Someone from the sun-cracked sidewalk calling out, "Yoo-hoo"
"Hey, uh huh"
Sometime I may trade this bone-tired fist
Somewhere I'll remove this mattress lying
Heavy as a healing word and wind
Someone from the sun-cracked sidewalk calling out, "Yoo-hoo"
