The Longest Day

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.

Oh, I know it's supposed to be

Some kind of visionary

Laying on your head

We've got you in our hands

Ah, we've been here for so long

Yeah, there's nothing changed

Something rearranged

Ah, feeling fine

Relaxed that in your mind

Time heals

There ain't no deal

We will fly now

Oh all over, all over, all over

Yeah, you must have seen

It happened in a dream

Some painter of mine

He told me how to shine

Lie back in your head

Thinking that you're dead

Time it is yours

You don't need anybody at all

Don't need no light

Or no call

You don't need anybody at all

All over

And spirit is our only climb

As we climb, we start to unwind

As we climb, you start to unwind

As you climb, you start to unwind

As you climb, you start to unwind

Set your spirit free

Set your spirit free

Set your spirit free

Set your spirit free

You don't need anybody at all

All over, all over, all over

I feel a little pick up

I feel a little pick up

I feel a little pick up

I feel a little pick up

Something in my mind, making me shine

I feel a little pick up

I feel a little better

I feel a little better all the time

I feel a little pick up

I feel a little better

I feel a little pick up in my mind

I feel a little better

I feel a little pick up in my my my mind

And it starts to feel the sunshine

And it starts to feel the sunshine

And soon it goes

Whose spell I don't know

I only wanna try and find me

A little peace of mind, a luxury

Just bathing

Just bathing

Just bathing

Just bathing

Just bathing

Just bathing

Taking it all in

Taking it all in

Taking it all in

Ah, it feels fine

Just trying to find my peace of mind

Just trying to find my peace of mind

Just trying to find a peace of mind
