Jayne's Blue Wish
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 sky holds all our wishes
The dish ran away with the spoon
Chimney smoke ties the roofs to the sky
There's a hole overhead
It's only the moon
Will there ever be a tree
Grown from the seeds I've sown
Life is a path lit only by the light of those I've loved
By the light of those I love
Life's a path lit only by the light of those I've loved
By the light of those I love
