RE: lyrics distance one more time

[Rob V]

David,

I think the problem is because starting a new lyric line starts a new verse, 
which gets it's own line below the first.  I tried the same technique to move 
this line second line around.  This file below should help.  I'll be able to 
use these ideas to line up my lyrics better, too.
