A diamond necklace played the pawn, hand in hand some drummed along, oh
To a handsome man and baton
A blind class aristocracy, back through the opera glass you see
The pit and the pendulum drawn
Columnated ruins domino
Canvass the town and brush the backdrop are you sleeping?
Hung velvet overtaken me, dim chandelier awaken me
To a song dissolved in the dawn
The music hall a costly bow, the music all is lost for now
To a muted trumperter swan
Columnated ruins domino
Canvass the town and brush the backdrop are you sleeping, Brother John?
Dove nested towers the hour was strike the street quicksilver moon
Carriage across the fog two-step to lamp lights cellar tune
The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne
The glass was raised, the fired rose the fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting
While at port adieu or die
A choke of grief heart hardened I, beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry
Surf's Up mmmmmmmm aboard aboard a tidal wave
Come about hard and join the young and often spring you gave
I heard the word, wonderful thing, a children's song
A children's song, have you listened as they play
Their song is love and the children know the way
