To The Runner
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.
Hold come a day dream
Ask a flower to kneel
As you pray to the runner
Spurn all ye kindle
And cradle his sweet pleasure
As you just look
Farther and farther beyond him
Beyond him, beyond him
Call for the giver, the taker
Rejoicing
As you just look
Farther and farther beyond him
Beyond him, beyond him
Spurn all ye kindle and cradle his sweet pleasure
In it all
To the devil take
In it all
To the devil take
