Poor Company Lyrics

As I raise the night
My poor company is broken
Somethin' tested tonight
And my poor company
is old

I have walked alone
Touched the tufts and trees
with my solitude
And all I ever asked for
has been read and then misunderstood

You are mine tonight
When my poor company has broken
Be mine tonight
When my poor company has gone home

I have crushed my hopes
Left in lies, discovery
And all that was written
is nothing I could ever take lightly

You are mine tonight
When my poor company has broken
Be mine tonight
When poor company has gone home
Has gone home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
