Helpless
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.
There´s a town in north Ontario
With dream comfort memory despair
And in my mind I still need a place to go
All my changes were there
Blue, blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
Big birds flyin´across the sky
Throwin´ shadows on our eyes
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Well, babe, can you hear me now?
The chains are locked and tied
across my doors
Baby, baby, sing with me somehow
Blue, blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
Big birds flyin´across the sky
Throwin´shadows on our eyes
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless
