Lyrics
Ember City
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.
You walk with boundless grace
Think old thoughts from yesterday
All being lost in the fire
You wandered and lost the way
Someone's always left behind
When the door of life closes
And you were slipping away
What do I say to you, what do I say to you
And if I want you to stay
What do I say to you, what do I say to you
This moment I take for you
Think of all we didn't do
All seeking answers from this
Hope to come out alive
Standing still my hands are tied
Our eyes open up to the sky
And you were slipping away
What do I say to you, what do I say to you
And if I want you to stay
What do I say to you, what do I say to you
And you were slipping away
What do I say to you, what do I say to you
And if I want you to stay
What do I say to you, what do I say to you
