What Can I Do
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.
Every dream that I dream
Seems to float on by
Like a cloud in the wind
Way up in the sky
Every move that I make
Seems to be the wrong way
Like a cold black night
After a summer day
What can I do?
What can I do?
Nothing to say but it used to be
Nothing to say but it used to be
What can I do?
You still play my guitar
With a smile on my face
Now everything's changed
My whole life's rearranged
From the day I was born
Sidle Jinks was my name
Though I tried and I tried
That name still remains
What can I do?
What can I do?
Nothing to say but it used to be
Nothing to say but it used to be
What can I do?
What can I do?
What can I do?
What can I do?
What can I do?
I hear voices all singing
But no one is there
It's a ghost of my life
Bringing past tense to mind
Lokin' key inside me
From the freedom and sin
Oh come let me in
I'll start all over again
What can I do?
What can I do?
Nothing to say but it used to be
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
What can I do?
What can I do?
