For You
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.
Sweet lovin' woman, hard livin' man
Layin' it out the best that I can
For you, for you
Reachin' for stars flightin' the moon
Findin' the words and learnin' the tune
For you, for you
I've had some fancy shelter
And I've been left out in the rain
You're the only pleasure I've had for all my pain
Cravin' some rest washed up at your door
Wasted the best, but I'm askin' for more
For you, for you
Burnin' so hard tryin' to shine
Wishin' the water would turn into wine
For you, for you
Even when I came down to the end
I turned it around and started over again
For you, I did it for you
I've had some fancy shelter
And I've been left out in the rain
You're the only pleasure I've had for all my pain
Cravin' some rest washed up at your door
Wasted the best, but I'm askin' for more
For you, oh for you
Burnin' so hard tryin' to shine
Wishin' the water would turn into wine
For you, nobody but you
Even when I came down to the end
I turned it around and started over again
For you, for you, for you
I did it for you.
