Pilot's Song
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.
All the time you'd spent alone in your room
With all the dreams you'd set aside
They've all come back again and none too soon
And some might say just in time
But do you really need someone
Do you really need someone to stay?
The things you said to me I took to heart
I didn't want to and I tried
To let them drift away, to stand apart
And just for once take this in stride
But I really need someone
You know I really need someone
You know I really need someone
You know I really need someone to stay
And ring that evening bell
And all is well
Autumn leaves, but you can't tell
If it's lost or if it's just falling down
As all your pilots die one by one
Their ashes scatter to the wind
You'll circle far and wide, face towards the sun
You'll never fly this high again
It's when you're gonna need someone
You know you're gonna need someone
It's when you're gonna need someone
You know you're gonna need someone
You know you're gonna need someone
You know you're gonna need someone
You're gonna need someone
You're gonna need someone
