Once upon a time, he began to say
A giant hairy man was in our tree
Concealed in the branches, quite shadowy
Only the light of his cigar you’d see

I remember like it was yesterday
When you took a chance with a runt like me
It was love at first sight, definitely
Because I am for you and you for me

Quietly, the hearse travels so slowly
As it pilots an empty procession
He is until the end solitary
Never good enough, always forsaken

Raindrops cling to a Calla Lily at Alcatraz Island in San Francisco, California.

The clouds are swollen with rain in the sky
Covering the blue with patches of grey
The sun hides just like a maiden too shy
Giving the stormy clouds the right of way

The remains of the Peter Iredale Shipwreck at Fort Stevens State Park in Warrenton, Oregon

Shipwreck

My ship was lost in the sea of sorrow
Its masts broke into a million pieces
It took on water in the decks below
As its hull was pounded by the rough seas
