Lyrics
Sonata
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.
She is the one who plays the piano
He is the one who wants to learn
She is the one who touched his heart
He made too much of this of course
I guess that's all
They feel so small
He is the one who wants the crowd to disappear
She is the one who draws them near
He is asleep deep and cynical
She stays awake to sing sonata.
I guess that's all
They feel so small
His dreams are a boat he's sailing away
She's just a wreck at the end of the day
He mails her a letter
He should've burned
He mails her a letter
He should've burned
He fell in love with a photograph
If he told her the story shed have to laugh
She feels a distance like a feather
He's just a fool for stormy weather
I guess that's all
They feel so small
His dreams are a boat he's sailing away
She's just a wreck at the end of the day
He mails her a letter
He should've burned
He mails her a letter
He should've burned
