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.
Did you give up the ghost
Forever that night?
Reach angel island
With stars as your light?
It was June of 1966
You were last seen
With your water wings
Did you drown in the ocean
Or make your great escape?
Did you die in slow motion
Off the coast of the bay?
Well, you knew that you couldn't stay
(The waves, the waves, the waves)
Well, you knew that you couldn't stay
(The waves, the waves, the waves)
Planned an ocean of fate
Some great racer
All at once I fell awake
That place is a glacier
Did you drive in the ocean?
Or make your great escape?
Did you die in slow motion
Off the coast of the bay?
Well, you knew that you couldn't stay
(The waves, the waves, the waves)
Well, you knew that you couldn't stay
(The waves, the waves, the waves)
