Oh! How I want adventure!
Perhaps I’m being dumb,
But how I’d love to sail the sea
An advocate of piracy
...
When I see you in my mind, this is what I see:
A lady clothed in scarlet robes by a glinting sea.
She sings a gentle song that catches setting sun
And turns it into liquid notes as if by angels spun.
...
Ah, the soft guitars that play
and lull the twilight.
I, unseen and all alone
...
I want a wind
To start in the far-off mountain
To rush down in a raging fury
And fill this dull and silent valley.
...
The water washes over me
The waves of passing years
A sea that fell from heaven high
A lake of angel tears.
...
Through two doors.
Rows of books.
Swinging door.
Eleven to pause.
...
I pluck a daisy from the roadside
Enchanted by the simplicity
Then shamed of my audacity
Place it gently on the ground
...
Oh, they are so cruel! They are so cruel!
How can such hate as this exist?
Oh God, dear God, dear mighty God,
How can you let it be?
...
The more you leave in the cupboard,
The more you will have tomorrow.
‘Cause once you’re out, you’re done,
You can’t buy or beg or borrow.
...
