From Afar
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.
You told me boy look the other way
You told me boy bite your tongue
Yes that's not the way,
Yeah that's not the way
Ah that's not the way that friends behave
Ah that's just not the way that friends behave
Oh no, no, no
No, no, no, no
You lined me up
Across the room
Two falling sparks
One willing fool
And I, I always knew
That I would love you from afar
You told me boy look the other way
You told me boy hide those hands
But I've been living on the crumbs of your love
And I'm starving now
And that is the way that we remain
Ah that will be the way that we remain
Oh, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
You lined me up
Across the room
Two falling sparks
One willing fool
And I, I always knew
That I would love you from afar
You lined me up
Across the room
Two falling sparks
One willing fool
And I, I always knew
That I would love you from afar
It shouldn't come as a surprise
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now
It shouldn't come as a surprise
She got darling hazel eyes
It shouldn't come as a surprise
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now
