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.
Hell, I don't know why, but
Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go
I tried & I tried but like mercury
It just slipped through my fingers
Golden apples on a silver tray
You know what they say, well...
Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go
Sometimes they stay...
Like birds in the sky
Well, sometimes they stay 'n sometimes they go
Like watching the tides
Tryin' to hold back the waves
You know what I'm sayin'?
Even the President's gotta pay
It all goes astray 'cuz
Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go
Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go
Well, some people claim they can make it rain
Well I don't know...
How long should I wait?
'Cuz sometimes it rains 'n sometimes it don't
Even the preacher man's gotta pay...
Sometimes they go
Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go
Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go...
Sometimes they go
Sometimes they stay
Sometimes they go
Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go...
