The Film Did Not Go 'Round
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.
The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round
The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round
I touch these strings, but cannot touch the sound
Take a train to a bus, and then into the air
Take a train to a bus, and then into the air
If I had wings, I'd follow you up there
Girl you know I hate to see you go
I hate to see you go
but the sunlight follows you right down the road
Just the thought of you makes me wanna cry
Just the thought of you makes me wanna cry
This deep well of tears has just run dry
You showed me just how easy love could be
You showed me just how silly love could be
But everything, you showed me gracefully
Everyone's gotta leave their love sometime
Everyone's gotta leave their love sometime
If not now, then at the end of your life-time
You'll be waiting by my bed I know
You'll be waiting by my bed I know
And your last little words will be i love you so
The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round
The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round
I touch these strings, but cannot touch the sound
