  • One by one, they followed the sun
    One by one, until there were none
    Two by two, to their lovers they flew
    Two by two, into the foggy dew
    Three by three, they danced on the sea
    Four by four, they danced on the shore
    Five by five, they tried to survive
    Six by six, they were playing with tricks

    How many paths did they try and fail?
    How many of their brothers and sisters lingered in jail?
    How much poison did they inhale?
    How many black cats crossed their trail?

    Seven by seven, they headed for heaven
    Eight by eight, they got to the gate
    Nine by nine, they drank the wine
    Ten by ten, they drank it again

    How many tomorrows have they given away?
    How many compared to yesterday?
    How many more without any reward?
    How many more can they afford?

    Two by two, they stepped into the ark
    Two by two, they step in the dark
    Three by three, they're turning the key
    Four by four, they turn it some more

    One by one, they follow the sun
    Two by two, to another rendezvous
    Three by three, don't tread on me
    Four by four, we're losing the war Writer/s: Bob Dylan
