The returns
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.
But after all
There are such things
And these are the things
Who'll turn your memories back into dreams again
Oh, it's all flying and waving
For you to keep trying
You're so close.
So close.
All the returns
One of these days,
One of these days,
One of these days,
One of these days.
