Whole Life
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.
Half of my whole life is gone
Let it drift and wash away
It was just a dream I had
It was just a dream
Half of my whole life is done
Heather gathers in its place
It was just a dream I had, mmm
It was just a dream
The mark where he left me
A clip on my wing
Oh, let it soften
I forgive everything
I once hummed the seasons
Now, I'm whistling
Half of my whole life is done
Let it drift and wash away, mmm
Shadows soften toward some tender light
In slow motion, I leave them behind
