Desire
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.
She was frozen
her light would not see the day
I walked away
you wanted it that way
now, I watch the cars pass by at night
things had to be that way
sirens rage through the silent night
things had to be that way
Oh I, who am I to seek
who am I to seek
Desire
Cold London morn'
we fit tight in the storm
You seized the day
it had to be that way
never mind what's only a piece of my heart
nothing could change that way
you should have nailed me up to the sky
there was a better way
Oh I, who was I to seek
who was I to seek
Desire
Now, heaven's gone
or heaven at least to me
my time is up
it has to be that way
these nights I walk the streets alone
it has to be that way
now I watch the windows at night
there is no other way,
Oh I, who am I to seek
who am I to seek
Desire
Oh I, Oh I,
who was I to seek
who was I to seek
Desire
