Lyrics
Iris
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.
She's unaware, she'll never see me stare
Standing in the safety of my room
Oh I don't know, whether she comes or goes
But I know I'll be seeing her quite soon
Ooh, Iris
The girl with the lovely name
I feel desirous
I got that girl to blame
Ooh Iris
I'll be brave, put all my fears away
I'm hoping that I get the chance to meet her
Sun or rain, I wait here every day
I wonder if I'll get the chance to kiss her
Ooh, Iris
I'm stuck at the window pane
I feel desirous
I got that girl to blame
Ooh Iris
Ooh, Iris
The girl with the lovely name
I feel desirous
I got that girl to blame
Ooh Iris (repeat til fade)
