The Way Down
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.
Run my dear go run
Keep the heaviness dry
All that good undone
Oh but never you mind
Oh that speechless tongue
There was never a better disguise
Keep tearing at that sun
Tear it outta your skies
Honey, funny ain't it honey
How you always lay down
When you’re on the way down
Honey, funny ain't it honey
How you always stay down
When you’re on the way down
She’ll curse herself to bed
It’s for the better she cries
All those wilting legs
Hide the heroin eyes
Honey, funny ain't it honey
How you always lay down
When you’re on the way down
Honey, funny ain't it honey
How you always stay down
When you’re on the way down
Run my dear go run
Keep the heaviness dry..
