A diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along, oh
To a handsome man and baton

A blind class aristocracy
Back through the opera glass you see
The pit and the pendulum drawn

Columnated ruins domino

Canvass the town and brush the backdrop

Are you sleeping?

Hung velvet overtaken me

Dim chandelier awaken me
To a song dissolved in the dawn
The music hall a costly bow

The music all is lost for now
To a muted trumperter swan
Columnated ruins domino


Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping, Brother John?


Dove nested towers the hour was
Strike the street quicksilver moon

Carriage across the fog
Two-Step to lamp lights cellar tune
The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne


The glass was raised, the fired rose
The fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting

While at port adieu or die

A choke of grief heart hardened I

Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry

Surf's Up

Aboard a tidal wave
Come about hard and join
The young and often spring you gave

I heard the word
Wonderful thing
A children's song


Child, child, child, child, child
A child is the father of the man

Child, child, child, child, child
A child is the father of the man
A children's song

Have you listened as they played
Their song is love
And the children know the way

That's why the child is the father to the man
Child, child, child, child, child
Child, child, child, child, child

Na na na na na na na na
Child, child, child, child, child
That's why the child is the father to the man

Child, child, child, child, child
