 +The lyrics are where the "#*" parts are.
 +
 +1* - Coming in off Nova Scotia...
 +2* - Yellow sun in the blue sky...
 +3* - All those cat tails in the wind...
 +4* - I've got something in my eye...
 +5* - Listen. Everything I love, I will devour...
 +6* - And bury the bones down in the snow...
 +7* - Put me in a beat-up El Camino...
 +8* - Just let me go. Just let me go...
