The Ballad of Red Buckets
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.
I wonder what's on your mind
I wonder what's on your mind
Look around and see
What it does to me
I wonder what's on your mind I think I'll throw it all away
I think I'll throw it all away
And if dreams come back to me
I'll pretend that I don't see
I'll just cover my eyes instead It'll surely come
It'll surely come
Here it comes again
