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.
I'll never work for free
No I can't give up
It never belongs to me
I'll never work for free
Like an incantation
I've been repeating
Looking back from the outer edge
I'm still the same
Looking back from the outer edge
I've changed my name
Just to stay the same
Just to stay the same
Fell in love with the travelling man
I'll make him mine
Do whatever I can
Fell in love with the travelling man
I'll make him mine
Do whatever I can
Got me looking for love
Got me looking for love
Little sympathy
Cause a long way back
Never comes easily
Even a young girl knows
That the first sign of love
Falls flat where the cold wind blows
A single syllable
Contained my history
Never knew one word
Could mean so much to me
Fell in love with the travelling man
I'll make him mine
Do whatever I can
Fell in love with the travelling man
I'll make him mine
Do whatever I can
Touching me with such sweet blindness
Hiding where our past can't find us
Need to find you another door
Oh baby I need more
I can't live on metaphors
Oh baby I need more
Fell in love with the travelling man
I'll make him mine
Do whatever I can
Fell in love with the travelling man
I'll make him mine
Do whatever I can
You got me looking for love
You got me looking for love
