      first length



                                                                first length:


                                              he cast the spells well
                                                and made of his house a ship
                                             and he fashioned an iron bell
                                                       for there's many a slip
                                              twixt the cup and the lip
                                   and he took to the seas of fate
                                     and sailed himself - far away



so that when the great lifestorms struck the world
      his friends would have somewhere to stay
         if only they could swim



ii:


                                           it's still clear, and cold
                                                  there was wind yesterday
                                            at this time
                                                  cold and gusty


                            it doesn't mean there will be wind today
                                    bode that good or ill
   but it makes me hope for it, being human as I am


                                                       as i am,
                                             very still,                                                   

                                                      clear and cold
