Lyrics
Romance Of The Telescope
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.
See these arms that were broken, how they held you so.
Never once did they fail you, they won't let you go.
We're just waiting looking skyward as the days come
down.
Someone promised there'd be answers, if we stayed
around.
Over decades, now this romance has sustained us all.
Never questioned, only giving what it made us for.
