V4.5-ALL

[Verse 1] Through early morning fog I see Visions of the sounds in me The weight of notes that wait for me I realize and I can see [Chorus] That lyute is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please [Verse 2] The game of sound is hard to play I’ll miss a note along the way The final chord I’ll someday lay So this is all I have to say [Chorus] That lyute is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please [Verse 3] The hand of time will mark the skin It doesn’t hurt when it begins But as the silence settles in The ache grows strong beneath the hymn [Chorus] That lyute is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please [Verse 4] A weary soul once asked of me To answer things we cannot see “Is it to play or let it be?” And I replied, “Why ask of me?” [Chorus] That lyute is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please [Outro] And you can do the same thing if you please
