Take What You Need
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.
Can't put this together
Can't make the pieces fit
There's a child in my arms
But I don't recognise it
Railway men are standing
By the tunnel mouth
They look at her and then they say
We've got you now
Take what you need
Take what you need
What happened to you
Could have happened to me
Everybody cries
And everybody bleeds
So take what you need
Take what you need
Ears still ringing from the sound
Of the guns, sand in my eyes
Blind in the Sun
Didn't see the people running
Thеy're throwing down their woes
Didn't hеar the words they said
As they opened up the doors
Take what you need
Take what you need
What happened to you
Could have happened to me
Everybody cries
And everybody bleeds
So take what you need
Take what you need
I don't know how it feels
To be the way you are
But I wish I could wish it all away
But I can be here
And we can talk about your day
And we can close the door
And help you on your way
Take what you need
Take what you need
What happened to you
Could have happened to me
Everybody cries
And everybody bleeds
So take what you need
Take what you need
