In The Attic
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 ran in here
In the attic, in the eye of a tornado
I watch the winter tame the orchard
Tree by tree, lay them gently down
Cities that shine like El Dorado
Now it's sleeping in the Shadow
And I can't wake it up again
Stars above you are shining roads
And no one knows quite where it goes
And I can't get to sleep again
I lay in here
In the attic, in the wind of a tornado
I watch the wind tear the walls in
And the animals, never feel so low again
Cities that shine like El Dorado
Now it's sleeping in the Shadow
And I can't wake it up again
Stars above you are shining roads
And no one knows quite where it goes
And I can't get to sleep again
Stars above you shine on cue
Now they're acting a bit confused
And I can't make them shine again
