Ladder
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.
You're climbing up a long ladder
And I wanna be there when you break the batter
The embossing on the invitation
Announcing a strange kind of invitation
You rented out clear skies and rainbows
How did the sunlight get so bright?
You loaded your wagon to the brim
How did it overflow?
It wasn't so long ago
When you were sorry and so slow
It seems kind of dream-like now
The kind of dream where no one has a face or name
