'Mary Celeste me
Set me on the sea cast off with
Champagne blessing
Leave the sextant and the map at home

For I don't know
Where this will go

Ferris wheel me
Incandescent dance majestic won't you
Steal me
A modjeska from the candy stand

For I don't know
Where this will go

Take my hand now don't let go
Kiss in line at the picture show

Firefly me
Over rolling waves of bluegrass we'll go
Sighing
Syncing citrine lights in fields at night

For I don't know
Where this will go

Tartan throw me
Behind hedgerows disclose, disrobe won't you
Know me
Intimating fingerpainting now

For I don't know
Where this will go

Take my hand and don't let go
Kiss in line at the picture show

Carry the light
Into the night
Lantern and rye
Whisper and sigh

Autumn leave me
Turning pages of my notebook
Still believing
That the story turned out right this time'
