Lyrics
Cowboy song
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.
See one thousand eyes, forget the starry skies, leaving you
Every sunny path's a bitter aftermath, leaving you
So could you kindly shut the door?
It's strange to think I needed air before
Then shut down the world, and stay within four walls
Please shut down the world, and stay within these four walls
Just one look at you, I'm finished wanting to challenge God
So I made my heart a home of elements so strong, we'll never feel the cold
And if God should come to call, I'll leave the curtains drawn
Won't make the slightest sound, 'til He's out of town
And our secret tune remains, and we're done failing death
Then shut down the world, and stay within four walls
Please shut down the world, and stay within these four walls
And stay within these four walls
