I meant to find Her when I came Lyrics

718

I meant to find Her when I came
Death—had the same design
But the Success—was His—it seems
And the Surrender—Mine

I meant to tell Her how I longed
For just this single time
But Death had told Her so the first
And she had past, with Him

To wander—now—is my Repose
To rest—To rest would be
A privilege of Hurricane
To Memory—and Me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
