Death With Dignity
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.
Spirit of my silence I can hear you
But I’m afraid to be near you
And I don't know where to begin
And I don't know where to begin
Somewhere in the desert there’s a forest
And an acre before us
But I don't know where to begin
But I don’t know where to begin
Again I've lost my strength completely, oh be near me
Tired old mare with the wind in your hair
Amethyst and flowers on the table, is it real or a fable?
Well I suppose a friend is a friend
And we all know how this will end
Chimney swift that finds me, be my keeper
Silhouette of the cedar
What is that song you sing for the dead?
What is that song you sing for the dead?
I see the signal searchlight
Strike me in the window of my room
Well I got nothing to prove
Well I got nothing to prove
I forgive you, mother, I can hear you
And I long to be near you
But every road leads to an end
Yes every road leads to an end
Your apparition passes through me in the willows
Five red hens – you'll never see us again
You'll never see us again
