Box Of Cedar
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.
Seven winters past and gone
I once was young and I once was strong
Shannadee, ah dee ah dee
Six fine times, I felt my knees
Buckle to your sweet release
Shannadee, ah dee ah dee
Five times tried to conjure you
Another letter or a note or clue
Shannadee, ah dee ah dee
And I'm going to tell everybody
I'm know that I'm glad to see you
And I'm going to tell everybody
I'm know that I'm glad to see you
Even though you're coming home
In a box of cedar
For four years, you courted I
Your raven hair, your brittle bride
Shannadee, ah dee ah dee
Three more times I tried to find it
A lover to match your sweet kind
Shannadee, ah dee a dee
And I'm going to tell everybody
I'm know that I'm glad to see you
And I'm going to tell everybody
I'm know that I'm glad to see you
Even though you're coming home
In a box of cedar
One am I to fill these rooms
And wake each morn to the drone of doom
Shannadee, ah dee a dee
Seven winters past and gone
I once was young and I once was strong
Shannadee, ah dee a dee
