Why I Cry
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.
All the summer days
Where we used to play
Walking hand in hand
Castles in the sand
So you said goodnight
But you meant goodbye
Now our love has died
This is why I cry
From the madding crowd
Pointing up at clouds
Summer turned to fall
Pictures on the wall
