The River Song
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.
He ran to the river but the water'd run dry
He ran to the candle but the light had done died
And I used to love you and not even try
He ran to the temple with tears in his eyes
He fell on his knees and reached up at the same time
Said I only love you knowing I'll die
All my life I've tried to be good
Or at least to myself
You did what you thought you should
But it hurt me like hell
Like hell
He ran to his mother and to her he cried
You never told me the whole story and I
Think all along I pretended to try
