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.
Cross your heart gently
The best days are with us
Don't be dark-hearted
You'll just disappear
Trust you won't stumble
I trust you won't walk blind
Trust you won't miss
What has never been found
Whereabouts
(no compass, no bearing)
Whereabouts unknown
(leave it alone)
Whereabouts
(no compass, no bearing)
Whereabouts unknown
(leave it alone)
Fortune it tells you
It's time for the good news
Came on the porch
And poured gasoline down
Time for the razing
The great leap fast-forward
How can I miss you?
You never were found.
Whereabouts
(no compass, no bearing)
Whereabouts unknown
(leave it alone)
Whereabouts
(no compass, no bearing)
Whereabouts unknown
(leave it alone)
Love is the crank on a black-water well
Don't turn for pleasure
It's turning deeper (?)
Know you'd believe it if we ever met
Know you'll believe it when you're finally found
Whereabouts
(no compass, no bearing)
Whereabouts unknown
(leave it alone)
Whereabouts
(no compass, no bearing)
Whereabouts unknown
(leave it alone)
Cross your heart gently
The best days are with us
Don't swim black water
You'll just disappear
Love is the crank on a black-water well
Don't turn for pleasure
It's turning deeper (?)
Know you'd believe it if we ever met
Know you'll believe it when you're finally found
Whereabouts
(no compass, no bearing)
Whereabouts unknown
(leave it alone)
Whereabouts
(no compass, no bearing)
Whereabouts unknown
(leave it alone)
