Sad But True
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.
When the fog comes through the golden gate
And the moon shines on the bay
And everything has changed
Now that you have gone away
Things are getting darker
And its harder for me to see
And now you're an angel
Lookin over me
[chorus:]
Back up back up
Its what you get beat up keyed up this rocky road [2x]
Sad but true but the list is too long
If I had to name you all it wouldnt be fit in this song
This magnums got me thinkin and its making me pissed
Your lives were taken to early and you will always be missed
All the mothers who cry and the fathers who mourn
For every lifes that taken theres another child born
That doesn't make it better and it doesn't make it right
I'm just thankful everyday that you came in my life
[chorus]
In a dream you take a trip
Down Shattuck to Durant
Up the hill, to the steps, Sproul Plaza and Telegraph
You pass Channing you pass Derby
You go to Ashby down to Adeleine
Take M.L.K to fifty-fourth and go down
To Genoa yeah and follow the bart tracks
To Harmon street ahhh Harmon street
Yeah it's reoccurring it's like a dream
I live a thousand times yeah
And it's always like the very first time
As time goes on I can never forget
All the times we had memories i protect
Seems like yesterday when I last saw your face
You're no longer here and noone can replace
All the times we had wish they could happen again
I'll hold you in my heart in my till heart to the end
If i could make a change it'd be me not you
So hard to see you go so sad but true
[chorus]
