Lyrics
The Crying Tree Of Mercury
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 is the song I've been singing my whole life
I've been waiting like a knife
To cut open your heart
And bleed my soul to you
I did it all for you
You and you and you and you
This is the sound I've been making my whole life
I've been waiting for this night
To clear up all the tar
Although I'm selfish to a form
Is it selfish, it's you I warn
You, I did it all for you
This love will stand as long as you
There's really no excuse
I did it all for you
These are the tears I've been crying my whole life
Like an ocean of desire
I'm reaching through the noise
Across the dust of time
Within the limited lights
I am singing out to you
