Won't Catch Me
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.
Iʼll stay down below
Carve out our names in wood
And under stars that glow
Iʼll be away for good
And if I find the sea
Scratch out our names in sand
And by that ocean deep
Iʼll be another man
Well Iʼve been stranded in a place called hell
And Iʼve run out of any dreams to sell
But Iʼd be gone but for the love of thee
But this here heartʼll be the death of me
Cause Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know they wonʼt catch me
And if I ran honey would you come
Or will you stay to be another one
Whose mouths are moving but their feet stand still
Who give their lives to what theyʼd die to kill
Well Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know they wonʼt catch me
Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Baby cast it aside
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know theyʼll never catch me
Iʼm high as the flaming
Wild white dove
Whoʼs callinʼ us back
To honey where weʼre loved
