Lyrics
Beautiful James
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.
Bring me back to life
Never let me go
Your troubles and your hard strife
I saw them
Take me by the hand
As we cross through battlefields
Nobody understands
'Cause there's nobody at the wheel
Beautiful James
I don't wanna wake you
Beautiful James
I don't wanna wake you
Everybody lies
One hundred times a day
The silence in your hard eyes
Is far too rare to give away
And it's exactly why I stay
Beautiful James
I don't wanna wake you
Beautiful James
I don't wanna wake you
(Don't wanna wake you)
Though I may have to
I may have to
I may have to
Beautiful James
(Don't wanna wake you)
I don't wanna wake you
