Cottage in the Rain
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.
All I had to do is say no
I could have stayed on the edge
Now I'm in pain
I lost the edge
And there's nothing else
I quit, I quit
I can't keep it up
It's too hard to try
What's the use, nobody cares
I turn my back, go away
Find a cottage in the rain
I get me fire, I get me wood
What's wrong with me
Why do I have to be so much
Thinking all the time
Growling (?) in vain again
Some concept to explain
Everybody's so nice
Why do I have to pay the price
All I had to do was say no
I could have stayed there on the edge
