Lyrics
The Lengths
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.
Tell me where you're going
What is going wrong
I felt you leaving
Before you'd even gone
Hold me now or never, ever
Hold me again
No more talk can take me from this
Pain I'm in
Pain I'm in
See the moonlight shining
On your window pane
See it leave you
As faithful as it came
Please yourself
So you don't have to be afraid
Make amends
Or carry on another way
Another way
Tell me what you were thinking
To treat somebody so
The care he took
The lengths to which he'd go
Coals are hot to walk
Across without your shoes
But in the end
Know that you've got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
