Lyrics
What Things Are
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.
I don't know where things are
It's so dark I have to feel my way around
And listen to some little sound
What's that
Oh, but I'm in my cave
It's true, I can't get out
But also they can't get in
I suppose we always take our chances
But when it's raining down diamonds
And the rays of those things
Puts you in a blinding dazzle of light
Like you never saw before
They have no comparison
