I Thought You Were Dead
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.
Now I grow
And unfold there are many sides to the soul
And not just one
I thought you was dead
Content
With my own thoughts
In my own head
That's because I thought you was dead
And it was so nice
So nice
It's all been, it's all been
So nice
It's been so
Happy now
Open wide
Everything in it's place and time
Now it's mine
I hoped you was dead
Genial
To the last
Leave the past
In the past
This means you
I thought you was dead
And it was so nice
So nice
It's all been, it's all been
So nice, nice
It's been, it's all been so nice
It's all been so
Freedom now
Never gloom
Happiness all afternoon
Can't you get this in your thick head?
Sorrow gone
Peace won
Five words spurred me on
I thought you was dead
And it was so nice
So nice
It's all been so nice
It was so nice, so nice
So
