Lyrics
Minor Works
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.
This may be the last
that you hear
for a long time
because my mind just went blank
when i saw
what the years had held
how the pieces fell
and everything that you said
that you'd do
i can see was time well spent
how i wish the same were true
those minor works i put you through
if we'd gone through this
and i caught
just a fleeting glimpse
well i'd run like a dog
on the scent
of what could have been
of what i've been doing
and everything that you said
that you'd do
i can see was time well spent
how i wish the same were true
those minor works i put you through
and i heard you wrestling
for a spot
next to Jacob
or Elijah
reveal
reveal yourself
to me and no-one else
to me and no-one else
