State of Independence
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.
By the by
I was looking deep into your eyes
By the way
In your voice I hear a thousand days
I command
A foresight of when you touch my hand
By the light
All the coloured rainbows will collide
In this state of independence
In the state of my mind
In this state of independence
I remain, I remain
In this state of independence
In the state of my mind
In this state of independence
I remain, I remain, I remain
By the by
I would walk one million hundred miles
By the way
I would wait upon the seventh wave
By the fall
Though I'm close I'm nowhere near at all
By design
All the separation will unite
In this state of independence
In the state of my mind
In this state of independence
I remain, I remain
In this state of independence
In the state of my mind
In this state of independence
I remain, I remain
Dear friend, I've been thinkin' about the end
Dear friend, I've been thinkin' about you
Dear, friend I can't live without you
In this state of independence
In the state of my mind
In this state of independence
I remain, I remain
In this state of independence
In the state of my mind
In this state of independence
I remain, I remain
By the by, by the by
By the by, by the by
By the by, by the by
By the by, by the by
