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.
Well it used to be everything was fine
Everything, this all was mine
All I had to do was write it down
You'd just be there with your perfect frown
I made up my mind
I traded holy water for cheap wine
I ran out of time
Well it used to be everything was fine
Everything, this all was mine
But one fine day, you might say
That I, I threw it all away
'Cause I made up my mind
I traded holy water for cheap wine
I ran out of time
Or something that I can't define
I traded my whiskey for your wine
Leaving my river running dry
And a waterline
You might say I'm wasting my time
You might say well, I don't mind
I ran out of time
Or something that I can't define
I traded holy water for cheap wine
Leaving my river running dry
Leaving just a waterline
Just a waterline
