  • The Ship was from the willing land
    The waves about it roll

    And as aglow by powdered sand
    We lift, we loot, we haul

    The time is still the sky is young
    Drawn on towards the goal
    And we are as the undescribed
    To take and lose control

    Oh hallelujah, pray for me
    The man who turned away

    My desert in a grain of sand
    My life within a day

    So smooth the stones that count the tides
    The piper plays a reed

    But we are as the undefined
    Breaking of the wing

    When pray with time at memory day
    And pray the tie told
    The sail is down the wind is gone
    The sky is blessed with growth
    The slave to host a pistody
    Illusion of control
    And we are as the unrefined
    The wake about to roll

    "Can I take the freedom and forget you?
    How can it, form contractions
    Don't talk that I'm frightened
    Do I know exactly my husband?
    That I Love You we miss you, after that
    Go get brethren (grab her then)
    I still act"

    "Go about it, A song
    Another ghost, by himself, I like that
    You are too polite cup
    The thing hello
    -No wait!- times
    Come back a man
    Chance in twos
    A timer the sand
    Imp glass
    Funny way
    Stretched light up
    The vibration awe
    That pearly what a waste
    Of help as Wave
