Vertical Ray
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.
O by lavender light
O my golden day
Sit beside the window in the morning
Watch the roofs and the lights in their change
Vertical ray of holiday
Test my aloneness
Against the weight and length of each day
I long for greener pasture
But they are not yet of what I am made
Vertical ray of holiday
Well, the sun will always set
As light streams through the door
We are closer to Tonawanda
Than we have ever been before
Vertical ray of holiday
