On The Roof
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.
Up on the roof I go
Sit and drink my wine
People running down below
I wanna feel the cool winds blow
Killing time up here
Just me and the empty sky
Trying to sort things out
'Bout what happened the other night
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woman, I've done you wrong
I knew this had to come
Now your walking out my door
Calling a cab on the way you go
Sitting on a rooftop
Talking to a blue sky
Drinking on a rooftop
Listen to my heart go, (don't go, don't go)
Listen to my mind go
Stay, a second time around
Won't you please stay, a certain time around
Darling won't you please stay, a certain time around
Oh please stay, a second time around
Watching the girls go by
Like a string of pearls in the crowd
Hey you with the long black hair
I've got some wine to share
Sitting on a rooftop
Talking to a blue sky
Drinking on a rooftop
Listen to my heart go, don't go, don't go
Listen to my mind go
Stay, a second time around
Won't you please stay, a second time around
Darling won't you please stay, a second time around
Oh won't you stay, a second time around
