1.
Oh my son, how you have grown from a cask of bluebird bones to a man. On a sailor's song you've flown into the ocean. But when you're done with the sea my son, come home to me And even though you're going off to see how bright life can be in the merchant marines Oh my son, what have you done? You've thrown your days from an old tin cup to a sea of kings and queens and coins you plucked from fallen trees But when you're done with the sea my son, come home to me And even though you're going off to see how bright life can be in the merchant marines And so my son, if ever you meet a gypsy girl don't give her ropes of pearls or combs to tame her ringlet curls don't let her sanguine lips uncurl but pass her palm with a blade of silver
2.
Celluloid and paper dolls summer days suspended on the court yard lawn bathed in golden sun And you and me were king and queen of humble bees that waltzed about our toes and knees, lolling over streams And germany was looking for the sun While you and Oberon made daisy chains on the lawn until the war and fall had come and gone
3.
Hide my legs all turned to roots and climb my arms that call the moon and see my fingers branch and bloom and sleep with me beneath the dew Place a wreath around my brow and lace it through with lilac boughs and lay my cheeks on gosling down and stay with me beneath the ground But I would rise with your cries in the twilit skies and let collect your tears in my material that's bound around my skull But I'll get no rest, oh while tears on your face still flow Hold my hands that rake my cloak and fold my ribs inside its oak enclose my eyes in clouds unbroken over mead and bed of clover

We Happy Two 04:28
Let's build a fort and hide away put a mattress in the old foyer let's use our father's finest chair and wire from the chandelier and you could let your beard extend and fill the holes inside your head and I could use this old machine so we would never have to leave Let's build a fort and hide away behind our dusty book brigade let's our mother's squandered things and all those rusty copper springs and you could play the old Steinway and man the upright barricade and I could use this bit of scrap and fashion homemade booby traps Let's build a fort and squirrel away our parasols for palisades let's use that empty dowery chest and remnants of a vintage press and you could picnic in the dark with tangerines and chocolate bars and I could crawl in old newsprint behind our paper parapet Me and you we will sing a song of Hallelujah
5.
Oh Clarice, your hands are plump and ready for romance so come on, Clarice, give this man a chance and hold me in your giant, meaty hands And oh, you know Clarice our love will only ever grow and grow and grow and grow and grow
6.
You and me took the interstate straight to the sea when we set off to be the ones to sail east beneath the western sun, one summer gone And song and tale of ancient beast and alabaster whale we laid to heart and laughed to see our sails with the wanton wind conceive on hoisted yard Oh, Vheissu! Oh, Vheissu! And Hera's spite that held Calisto's natural son confined, we made our guide but forced to veer by a sickly crew of godless privateers one stormy night Until we came at last, our little clipper ship was made a wrack upon the isle where we made a home—a shanty built on silt and dragon bones and sandy mile Oh, Vheissu! Oh, Vheissu! Oh, Vheissu! Oh, Vheissu! But as a fledging gull you left adrift a clamshell coracle for ocean's end while I roamed the shore 'til you returned as I had once before on western wind
