Dear Lover
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.
i'm only skin and bones
here's my heart to a tone
seems such a reasonable sin
mortal man under bones and skin
dear lover, don't bother me
don't say what you want to say
there's no reason for words to escape
i'll wait for you if you call
pity me and pity us all
dear lover, don't bother me
dear lover, don't bother me
i can say this with certainty
hard living's the only way i can get by
you're the liar at the door (come in)
really, what'd you come here for?
tell you once and i'll tell you true
i got nothing left for you
dear lover, don't bother me
dear lover, don't bother me
i can say this with certainty
hard living's the only way i can get by
all the rules you put on yourself
send me straight to somebody else
all the rules that you push onto me
tend to weaken fidelity
dear lover, don't bother me
dear lover, don't bother me
i can say this with certainty
