Lyrics
Canary
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.
There’s a shadow hanging heavy
There’s a cold chill in my bones
It’s a steep road, and I am weary
It’s a long, long way from home
But I will not shut my eyes
No, I will not fall silent
Canary in the mine
Oh I will, honey I will
I will sing
I will sing
There's a madness in a cavern
There’s a darkness that can blind
Where it's every man for himself
No one’s getting out alive
But I will not shut my eyes
No, I will not fall silent
Canary in the mine
Oh I will, ooh honey I will
I will sing
I will sing
Sing, sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing, canary sing
Sing, sing, sing, come on
Sing, sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing, canary sing
Oh I will sing
I will sing
There’s a shadow hanging heavy
There’s a cold chill in my bones
