Never Going Back
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.
And I close my eyes sometimes
I close them in the Sun
And I feel my winds a-changin'
My memory's out of time
And I ain't never goin' back
I ain't never goin' back
I ain't never goin' back
And the lights go down on my street
And they go on in a line
And these people that live here
These people, they are blind
And I ain't never goin' back
I ain't never goin' back
I ain't never goin' back
I ain't never goin' back
I ain't never goin' back
I ain't never goin' back
Wait for tomorrow
And I'll never find today
Well, help me to light my candle
And I'll surely find my way
And I close my eyes sometimes
I close them in the Sun
And I feel my winds a-changin'
My memory's out of time
And I ain't never goin' back
I ain't never goin' back
I ain't never goin' back
I ain't never goin' back
I ain't never goin' back
I ain't never goin' back
