Breakway
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.
The moon shines cold with ice tonight
And i can see your face now in the violet light
And though you're a thousand miles away
I can hear you clearly
I hear every word you say
(chorus)
I just can't breakaway
No matter how i try
I just can't get away
I just can't find no peace of mind anyway
I have dreams that i don't understand
They're all tangled up like your hair in my hands
And though you're a thousand miles away
I can see you clearly
I feel every breath you take
(repeat chorus)
The moon strikes fear in hearts of men
And i thought i would never see your face again
And though you're a thousand miles away
I can hear you clearly
I tremble with every word you say
(repeat chorus x 3 to fade)
