Lyrics
Straight Back
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.
What can I say this time?
Which card shall I play?
Dream is not over,
Dream is just away
And you will fly
Like some little wing
Straight back to the sun
Dream was never over
Dream has just... begun
Begun...
Fingers find the ivory keys
And a song begins to begin
Like a wolf on the run
And you will find
While in the wind
Something that you lost
Dream was never over
Dream was only...
Only lost...
(hours and hours of waiting for you,
so strong and so fleeting)
The dream has just begun
(and hours of waiting for you
in hopes of meeting)
The dream has just begun
(this way)
Well, the dream has just begun
