The Hour Grows Late
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.
As he fired up the drum machine
He stole a glance at the empty seats
He took a minute to retune his guitar
As the hour grew late I wanna send this out to Richie Vey
In his thrift-store corner of the world
His soul is my cheap laugh
As the hour grows late
