A breeze

At first I was thought crazy

To cross the storming seas

On naught a breeze

And seldom had they thought of my return

But I knew that far away across those storming seas

laid a land of mountains, deserts, and trees

I thought of many things on the way

Of birds and bees

and deer and trees

and bears and wolves that howl

But one thing that I never thought of

was the simple thing of how

I didn't want to return from there

for the place was so serene and clean

There was no stench of a city wrench

or the refuse in the street

All there was the was the pollen and mud

and the fresh mountain air so clean

I sighed a sigh as a bird flew by

I had not a worry

Way out here in the sea

Well I guess that now this happy tale must end

Because somewhere between that town and here

On a ship that sailed the storming seas

On naught but a simple breeze

An old man named Worthy

Well he caught scurry

And is resting at the bottom of the blue

Well my ship lived on without me

somehow somewhere she did go

And I hope and pray in my long gone days

that she made it to the farthest shore
