SATURNA Just take me to Saturna I was a polished piece of glass That old wooden lighthouse I think they called me Bailey I’ve been dead a long long time That butter clam you pocketed THE LOST EMOTION Love is a sin that we learn Hatred is a fin that we earn Comfort is the cloud where we yearn HYMN FOR THE SWEET FORGOTTEN This whole world This old world This cold world This old world |
