|
She she she she only ever ver ver ver ver , |
|
Walk to to count count her steps, |
|
Eighteen teen strides and she stops to abide |
|
By the law that she herself has set. |
|
That eighten steps is one complete set, |
|
And before the next nine right and nine left. |
|
She looks up up at the blueeeeeee, |
|
And whispers to all of the above. |
|
Don't let me drown, don't breathe alone, |
|
No kicks no pangs no broken bones. |
|
Never let me sink, |
|
Always feel at home, |
|
No sticks no shanks and no stones. |
|
Never leave it too late, |
|
Always enjoy the taste, |
|
Of the great great great grey world of hearts. |
|
As all dogs everywhere bark bark bark bark |
|
It's worth knowing, |
|
Like all good fruit, the balance of life is in |
|
The ripe, and ruined. |
