| Having seen the Madonna of Swans
|
| Are you satisfied with your last trip
|
| Lemonade and some pills for the heat
|
| And ice upon the wounds our lady prays for you
|
| But you go on tugging sleeves
|
| Sorting out the leaves
|
| To sacrifice all your grieves
|
| And swearing bitterly each time
|
| Something else is ruined
|
| Locked away in Sand City
|
| Have you ever wondered how you might ever leave
|
| With the boatman taking coins all around
|
| Shadows speaking softly of the coming rain
|
| As you move to midstream
|
| Upon a glass of dream
|
| Wide is the boat of your dreams
|
| And without looking very far
|
| Did you find the meaning
|
| The windless path of an Abraham
|
| Is yours to climb for the splendor of believing
|
| Wake to find each morning
|
| The very final warning
|
| Your day has no dawning
|
| And as usual the truth was something missing
|
| Too late no, no, no you are forgiven
|
| In the waters that surround you now
|
| You have no meaning
|
| You see only the flying seabird
|
| And you argue what went wrong
|
| With deciding who was leaving
|
| I was here, I was here, I was here
|
| And I’ve traveled long enough on your shoulders
|
| I have traveled long enough on your shoulders
|
| I have traveled long enough upon your shoulders |
