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.
By the time I get to
Wherever I’m going
By the time I get to
Wherever I’m going
There will be no time
There will be no time
Left with which to
Meet you and talk about logic
And have you on the lawn
Should there come a time
I make use
Of all of this knowledge
That I drag behind
Like traps
Like scraps
Like baggage
There will be no time
There will be no time
Left with which to
Meet you and talk about logic
And have you on the lawn
There will be no time
There will be no time
No left time
To have you on the lawn
