Lyrics
Don't Look 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.
Orpheus melted the heart of Persephone
But I never had yours
I followed you back to the end of the path
But I never found the door
And you can work to save your love
You can bear it from the earth below
You can work but you can't let go
Oh, oh but you have to know
Don't look back
All you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
I don't have to see you every day
But I just want to know you're there
Quietly took to the dark of the day
And the heat of the summer night
The heat of the breeze was a cell block wall
And when I looked you were out of sight
And you can work to save your love
You can bear it from the earth below
You can work but you can't let go
Oh, oh but you have to know
Don't look back
All you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
I don't have to see you every day
But I just want to know you're there
And you can work to save your love
You can bear it from the earth below
You can work but you can't let go
Oh, oh but you have to know
Don't look back
All you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
I don't have to see you every day
But I just want to know you're there
Don't look back
All you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
I don't have to see you every day
But I just want to know you're there
Don't look back
All you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
I don't have to see you every day
But I just want to know you're there
