Woody and The Fish

Sailing

upon an ocean blue

in an ivory canoe

for me and you.

Where are going?

I don't know,

Fishy,

I thought you knew.

Well here we are

upon an ocean blue,

broken mast

and time is vast

for me and you

in an ivory canoe.

Can we stop?

If we try hard enough.

"I say"

with hearts pounding

"I want this place to 

live,

this deep and scary 

world,

so many unknown

lives

have sewn these

seams

of 

crime

together."

Again,

again

we try

we die

we cry

we lie

we

suffer

for

love,

creation,

sun,

heart.

OUR HEARTS.

How broken our hearts,

how hardened my

heart.

Oh Fishy,

where are we?

I thought you knew.
