Sleepless River
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.
What are you fighting for?
That storm on your back
A faded memory
That's burned out before
What are you changing for?
Trying to forgive
A burned out cigarette
Ash on the floor
What are you dreaming for?
The page that you lost
On that sleepless river
We all have to cross
What are you healing for?
This wound's got a date
I got a little poison
If you think you're going to break
And what are you dreaming for?
The page that you lost
On that sleepless river
We all have to cross
