Opie's Funeral Song
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.
You make it beautiful, friend
You make it worth it, to the end
You put a hole in my head
Just like you put a fire in the tree
Ever since dawn
Ever since when
You put the note in my pocket again
And you said you wanted to meet me at three
I was invited for once
Yes, I was invited for once
You make it difficult, friend
You make it worth it, to the end
You put a hole in our heads
Just like you put a fire in the tree
Ever since dawn
Ever since three
We made the plans at your party to be
And we tied the ribbon beside your back tree
Yes, we tied it upside down
Yes, we tied it upside down
