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.
I looked down the line
And I wondered how
All things would come to be
I stood staring with my
Best intentions worst impulses
Old companions we
Feel like burying myself
Behind the curve of the earth
But I'm a little concerned
I'll be winding up right back here
If you look high
You might see the sky
Staring down on all you depend
If you look here
That puts you where?
You may as well be anywhere man
I'm heading on my way
Everybody finds their way round
They find their way down
See the old sheep dog
By the side of the track
He's got a sea lion's breath
And his raincoat's cobalt black
A number 13 pup
He came at little cost
I was his master once
Now loss is his boss
And he'll be fine
He'll find his own way out of the light
I'm gonna bury my love
Behind the curve of the earth
I'm a little concerned
I'll be finding out
What it's worth
I woke up in the night
To find I was mercifully alone
There's nowhere that I need to be
And nothing that I need to know now
I just want to find my way
Everybody finds their way round
They find their way down.
