Lyrics
Life
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.
Life... a number and a name
Don't know what to think, don't know what to say
Life... like the actor and the play
When the curtain rises, you must take to the stage
You wanna stand on the moon
You want it all too soon
You must give it all away
It's the price that you must pay
Love... sometimes easy, sometimes strange
Like the pictures that you paint, sometimes clear and sometimes grey
Well love is like a book, with your writing on the page
But the words that you write, are not the words you wanna say
CHORUS
Time... time just drifts away
Like the ending of the line
Like the parting of the way
Well time, time will never wait
Like the the thoughts all in my head
Can't be made to stay
CHORUS
