Wrong notes I throw away,
what else can you do,
session muso's look grave,
forget what's not fair,
life's not a pool,
we're not that square,
give the eye don't hesitate,
why try to act the fool,
show them our silky traits,
it's not my long hair,
plaided like Saskatoon,
that makes them scared,
we go against the grain,
out here in the blue,
engineers and delegates,
our songs make them care,
think we're full of virtue,
those inside the circle,
singing keeps us resonate,
their world's not of fools,
hands across my face,
they know I love you.

Bring me sparkling jewels,
let me laugh through tears,
never to be cruel,
my voice brings you grace,
what else can you hear,
there is no bad faith,
turn your head you fool,
meet this siren near,
don't ever act bemused,
my singing seals your fate,
perfume costs you dear,
listen before too late,
dreams bring other rules,
an ached for vision clear,
golden domes pursued,
along the shipping lanes,
whole lives move their gear,
some carry too much freight,
laugh at torrid news,
find a passage clear,
put aside your issues,
sail for better years.

I'll stay with you,
if I'm not too late,
stick to you like glue,
don't make me groan,
like a special case,
happiness is never forlorn,
I'll borrow the moon,
reach beyond church or state,
make you beat bad fortune,
we are never alone,
around corners or gates,
even a promenade of stones,
tell me the truth,
if your vision's so great,
why sleep in ruins,
maybe a broken home,
lets me stake my case,
dusty as a heavy tome,
please don't argue,
take me as your mate,
forget all the rumours,
love doesn’t age.

You dance in the tide,
your fame is just beginning,
say you need a bride,
my mother says stay true,
she is not forgiving,
for love running smooth,
tobacco blonde full of lies,
fresh alive and kicking,
you sing on many a night,
it brings me back to you,
women do your bidding,
you have no curfew,
who knows if she's right,
when you demand anything,
sunlight, water, sky,
love blows down the avenue,
daisy heads are dipping,
won't melt me lemon blue,
your lips twist like knives,
you had better stay true,
I'll nail you with my smile,
nothing else is new.

I'm Lucky to pass this way,
no one here is brave,
each evening conjugate,
don't worry if I jeer,
I am not a knave,
measure life not fear,
to broken laws you pray,
define yourself and state,
be gentle with your say,
I can still drink beer,
even if I’m late,
a drunken innocent muscateer,
School rings out for play,
rather than enslave,
I’m the one to elevate,
other stuff brings tears,
why scream or hesitate,
let other souls swim near,
my teaching hair turns grey,
a sum of constant forays,
lovers we can celebrate,
you like me are great.

Bring me a sweet sign,
in darkness of grain blue,
my eyes need this flight,
sing to me I moan,
in this place of virtue,
no one dies alone,
we'll sail among the isles,
our brightly lit fuse,
makes prayer of our lives,
steer an even course,
funeled by sweet perfume,
caressing all we know,
you are my shining light,
more than any muse.
only we decide,
when we’re growing old,
age will bring us fuel,
solace lives on hold,
bells ring out the night,
our journey fires the truth,
laughter tells us why,
joy is in our moon.

I'm the one who fights,
priest's robes of purple hue,
prefer my cotton stripes,
within this sea of sharks,
my smile arrives on cue,
beams as I make a mark,
don't ask for crass disguise,
to a lover of balloons,
try to make me wise,
I parade towards the dark,
when visitor's are due,
my hair's the best part,
it blows around my eyes,
beyond the day's blues,
men make a bridge of sighs,
you're no shining lark,
my spirit lifts the room,
I shall call you Clark,
you’ll pay my fines,
there's nothing to refuse,
explore my best smile,
you'll laugh brand new.
