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.
When I light your darkened door
When I light your darkened door
When I light your darkened door
Will you curse the day?
When your name breaks on my lips
When your name breaks on my lips
When your name breaks on my lips
Will you know the sound?
There are roses in your hair
And a lily on your breast
And a longing in your heart
Will you be ashamed?
