Lyrics
The Clearing
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.
If you're in there, you must come out
I have no time left for any doubt
They're chasing me, they want you too
You'd be much safer if I was with you
So I will reach the clearing, don't you worry
The end is nearing, in a hurry
I fall asleep and meet you there
And bring you into a strange affair
You live and breathe in other minds
And sell my future a thousand times
I don't know the place that you have come here from
It's a mystery to me and I don't belong
In a piece of sunshine or a line of rain
Having said all that I will be here again
I've got you now, you're on my plane
A heavy burden has left my brain
I was relieved that car went by
They never caught me and you know why
