Use the truth as a weapon To beat up all your friend Every chink in the armor An excuse to cause offense And the boys from the hallway calling out your name And true love will find them in the end You were restless I was somewhere less secure So I went runnin...

We were born before the wind Also younger than the sun Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic Hark, now hear the sailors cry Smell the sea and feel the sky Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic And when that fog horn blows I will be co...
