Perceive It
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.
Stop the car if I have come this far
Without learning how to make an unexpected turn
Learn to play the changes to the beat of time
Satisfaction never was a friend of mine
Perceive it and say goodbye to it
Don't hold on to any one moment
You've got to love it and then release it
Don't hold on to any one moment
Send a postcard if you go to France
Let me know if you're alive and doing fine
I have never loved by mail
So here's my chance
I would like to write it if I ever get the time
Perceive it and say goodbye to it
Don't hold on to any one moment
You've got to love it and then release it
Don't hold on to any one moment
Draw your boundaries and paint your signs
Though they say "alone"
At least I have a word to pray
And I follow needing all there is of time
Solo dancers learn their steps along the way
Perceive it and say goodbye to it
Don't hold on to any one moment
You've got to love it and then release it
Don't hold on to any one moment
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh etc
Don't hold on to any one moment
