Lyrics
Neptune
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.
What's right and what's wrong
Don't you hold me too tightly to words
As I've rounded them off to the nearest of 10
For I gathered your body
An envious capture, an envious thought
Oh forgive me, oh God
Or forgive me in fortune
Forgive me in feeling it out for myself
As I ought to have feelings for something as great as thou art
Some great wine rose of youth
Your pleasure gives my own heart
Generous portions, wisely
Breaks of my own heart
I felt the arms length while I've gone on my own way
Come serve me, strange waters
Come and obey me, strange waters
Have it your own way
So if you won't hold me
I have no objections
So if you won't please me
I have no commands
So if you don't trust me
It's best if I drown
