Big Sleep
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.
So where did you go?
Where do you go in the Big Sleep
Going out in the Deep Sleep
Is where you're wandering now
So where did you go now
When you are in the Big Sleep
Drifting in wildlife
And still you're wandering now
We were on the top and the world was spinning
We were only young in the whirlpool of warning
Communication lost in the thundering rain style
A shelter from the storm in the early beginning
Going out in the Big Sleep, out in the Big Sleep
Could have been years, you know it could have been years
Or only seconds ago
Big Sleep, Deep Sleep
Where are you now?
Now that you're in Big Sleep
Valuable friend
They saw you leaving this way
We were on the top and the world was spinning
We were only young in the whirlpool of warning
Communication lost in the thundering rain style
A shelter from the storm in the early beginning
Where did you go?
Immaculate friend
For a lifetime I'm grateful
And it's only a second away
Big Sleep, Deep Sleep
Forevermore
If only you could see me
If only you could see me
If only.
you could see
Forever
Coming home in the Big Sleep
coming home.
