Lyrics
Vermillion
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.
An unseen force behind the turning leaves,
Drives them all vermillion and green,
You never gave up on me somehow,
I don't know why I haven't turned by now
Ooh I know love sounds impossible,
Some words are just so hard to say,
And there's times you feel unlockable,
An' all you ever want,
Is someone to try...to open up...and find a way in
Don't ever say you were wrong for me,
For you were always strong enough for three,
I never let you in my world somehow,
I'm asking you to please, allow me now
Ooh I know love sounds impossible,
Some words are just so hard to say,
And there's times you feel unlockable,
An' all you ever want,
Is someone to try...to open up...and find a way in
Truer skies beyond the swirling clouds,
The other birds are off and flying south,
We'll have to make our own way there somehow,
An' I'm asking you to please trust me now
Ooh I know love sounds impossible,
Some words just take so long to say,
And there's times you feel unlockable,
An' all you ever want,
Is someone to try...to open up...and find a way in
Someone to try...want someone to try, want someone to try, want
someone to try...
