20 Years

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.

There's a note underneath the front door

That I wrote twenty years ago

Yellow paper and a faded picture

And a secret in an envelope

There's no reasons, no excuses

There's no second hand alibis

Just some black ink on some blue lines

And a shadow you won't recognize

Mmm

Mmm

Mmm

In the meantime I'll be waiting

For twenty years and twenty more

I'll be praying for redemption

And your note underneath my door

And your note underneath my door
