Night 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.
Tell me where
Does it say
When you're lost
you stay that way
Why a forest of fools
getting in the way
Cannot hear, cannot
fade with the nightsong.
Nightsong, from my heart
Why can't we
Sing this nightsong.
All alone
I reflect on my demons
in the night
Some are wise,
Some are good
Some are not so bright
I can't hear
Sing along
with the nightsong.
Nightsong, from my heart
Why can't we
Sing this nightsong.
Why not
keep on singing anyway?
Run away
I don't know what it was
Led you astray
Just because you're too much
like I am anyway
I will come
You can't hide
From the nightsong.
Nightsong, from my heart
Why can't we
Sing this nightsong.
Why not
keep on singing anyway?
