There we follow one and all

Testing the break point in case we get lucky

We are weak but they are strong

Lose some friends along the way

Then in you come one day

Testing the break point in case we get lucky

Days beyond that, come what may

The spawning tide never ends

Say what you felt when you found us here

Here where the waters run crystal clear

One summer day in your summer clothes

                D       C
The day you saw several ghosts
