Lyrics
Meaulnes
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.
And he came by the way that he walked
And he came by the way that he walked
And he came by the way that he walked
And he came by the way that he walked
And he came by the way of a half-million murderers
And he came by the way of a long list of ironies
And he came by the way of the road to Sioux City
And he came by the way of the half-breeds and lesbians
And he came by the way that he walked
And he came by the way that he walked
And he came by the way that he walked
And he came by the way that he walked
And he thought it
Was in there but still wasn't happy,
He knew it was less than the way that it could be
But undaunted unshaven and an eagle in britches he
Set out again to unveil the earth's riches
And he came by the way that he walked
And he came by the way that he walked
And he came by the way that he walked
And he came by the way that he walked
And he came by the way that I said I was leaving,
The way that I'd take if I really was going
If I had a map, that is why I'm delaying
And if it wasn't in there I'd surely be staying
And he came by the way that he walked
And he came by the way that he walked
And he came by the way that he walked
And he came by the way that he walked
