Ancient Story
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.
Laid my cards on the table
So she could see the light
My efforts went wasted
Due to fallen night
And I know
But by the end of the evening
I was in no doubt
Of all of the things
That you could live without
And I know
I drag up ancient history
Hope that they'll forgive me
They had nothing but ego's
But they would multiply
All the reasons that I would try
That I know
To be making it harder to be seen but oh
Is it too much to ask for to be left alone?
Yeah I know
I drag up ancient history
Hope that they'll forgive me
Laid my cards on the table
So she could see the light
My efforts went wasted
Due to fallen night
And I know
I drag up ancient history
Hope that they'll forgive me

Die in the merrie city
