Lyrics

Gale Song

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.

It's a lonely road, full of tired men

And you can see it in their faces

And you'll be home in spring

I can wait 'til then

I heard you're on the big train

And oh this too shall pass

This loneliness won't last for long

I wasn't there to take his place

I was ten thousand miles away

So when you hear my voice

And when you say my name

May it never give you pain

'Cause I don't wanna go

But it's time to leave

You'll be on my mind, my destiny

And I won't fight in vain

I'll love you just the same

I couldn't know what's in your mind

But I saw the pictures

You're looking fine

And there was a time when I stood in line

For love, for love, for love

But I let you go, oh I let you go

And he fell apart with his broken heart

And this blood, this blood, this blood

Oh, it drains from my skin, it does
