swallowed in the sea
You cut me down a tree & brought it back to me & that's what made me see where I was going wrong. You put me on a shelf & kept me for yourself. I can only blame myself. You can only blame me.And I could write a song a hundred miles long. Well, that's where I belong & you belong to me. And I could write it down or spread it all around, get lost and then get found or swallowed in the sea .
You put me on a line & hung me out to dry. And darling that's when I decided to go to see you. You cut me down to size & opened up my eyes, made me realize what I could not see.
And I could write a book. The one they'll say that shook the world and then it took,it took it back from me.
And I could write it down or spread it all around, get lost and then get found, & you'll come back to me - not swallowed in the sea.
Oh what good is it to live with nothing left to give? Forget but not forgive? Not loving all you see?
Oh the streets you're walking on a thousand houses long. Well that's where I belong & you belong with me - not swallowed in the sea .

What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.
Splendor in the Grass,
William Wordsworth
that was beautiful!
