Dear Gertrude

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 how the story will unfold

I know you see everything

Tell me all about the torch and scroll

I know you know everything

So why do you come to me?

Why when I'm sleeping?

Why am I the only one who knows you're there?

Why, why?

My dear, my dear Gertrude

My dear, lonely soul

My dear, my dear Gertrude

My dear, my dear, my dear

Tell me all about your history

Tell me all about your pains

Try to contact all your lost loved ones

Try to speak to them through me

So why do you come to me?

Why when I'm sleeping?

Why am I the only one

Who knows you're there?

Why, why?

Chorus

You're so lonely in my body

I can sympathize your pain

But the secret is too much

For me to hold
