Lyrics
Don't Be Long
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.
Maybe we lost our place
And all I need to say is,
"Come and find me like an old crease in the page."
I'm figuring it's too late,
But I'll ask you just the same
What it pays to keep yourself so far away.
You keep yourself so far away
Don't be long, don't be long
Every time I see you I still hear
My favorite song play on and on
Don't be long, don't be long,
Because if there's any part of this
That you still need, I need you now to prove me wrong
Don't be long, don't be long
Every time I see you I still hear
My favorite song play on and on,
And even through the muck
And the mire I still love you like a house on fire
